A controversial penalty handed host Juventus a 1-0 win over Monaco on Tuesday in Turin, Italy, in the first leg of a Champions League quarterfinal.
Arturo Vidal scored his first goal of this season’s competition in the 57th minute after Monaco’s Ricardo Carvalho was judged to have fouled Alvaro Morata in the box.
“It’s a great injustice,” Monaco Coach Leonardo Jardim said. “The penalty was nonexistent.”
Monaco had been denied a penalty in the first half when Anthony Martial tangled with Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Juventus, which leads Serie A and is in the Italian Cup final, received a lift from the return of the playmaker Andrea Pirlo from injury after a three-week absence.
