Alvaro Morata (that's him celebrating with teammates) scored the series-winning goal in the 57th minute as Juventus gained a 1-1 game-two road draw with Real Madrid on Wednesday and ousted the defending champions 3-2 on aggregate to advance to the UEFA Champions League Final, to take place at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on June 6 against Barcelona.
The "Old Lady" will be gunning for their third European club title (1985, 1996) while Barca will be going for their fifth crown (1992, 2006, 2009, 2011). This will be Juve's first appearance in the championship game since 2003 and a decade after they had been relegated from Serie A in disgrace.
The winner would play in the FIFA Club World Cup, set to take place in Japan this coming December.
