Clinical Juventus catch Celtic cold
Juventus produced a display of resolute defending and clinical counterattacking to move within touching distance of reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in seven seasons thanks to an emphatic win at Celtic FC.
Alessandro Matri opened the scoring in the third minute and, though the Italian champions were put under strong pressure, they held firm before increasing their lead on the counterattack in the closing stages. Marchisio added a second on 77 minutes and Mirko Vučinić took the Bianconeri within sight of a first last-eight place since 2005/06 with a third goal seven minutes from time.

Reaction
The scoreline flatters Juventus. For the best part of the game we were by far the better side, but you can't give away goals like the ones we gave away. We need a miracle.
Neil Lennon, Celtic manager
It’s a great result in a difficult stadium. We came here to score at least one goal and we scored three without conceding, so we are very happy.
Claudio Marchisio, Juventus midfielder

- 86Anelka (in) - Vučinić (out) (Juventus)
Nicolas Anelka makes his UEFA Champions League bow for Juventus, replacing Mirko Vučinić. - 83Vučinić (Juventus) scores!
Celtic are left exposed when Efe Ambrose is dispossessed on the edge of his own area and the visitors take full advantage. Claudio Marchisio slides a pass to Mirko Vučinić, who slots confidently past Fraser Forster. This has been a ruthless display from the Italian champions. - 81Pogba (in) - Matri (out) (Juventus)
Full-time at Celtic Park. A comfortable win for Juventus puts them in command of this UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. Celtic showed plenty of willingness in attack but were undone by the Bianconeri's class on the break. Goals from Alessandro Matri, Claudio Marchisio and Mirko Vučinić mean that Neil Lennon's side have it all to do in Turin.
