Juventus took a crucial advantage in their Champions League quarter-final against Monaco on Tuesday evening, booking a 1-0 win in their first leg of their last eight encounters.
ESPN FC confirmed the result for the Italian giants, which puts them in good stead for next week's return fixture on the French Riviera:

As one of the competition's biggest remaining underdogs, Monaco may have been expected to bring a defensive and withdrawn approach to Turin, which is precisely how they lined up to begin with.
