Juve through as brilliant Ronaldo assist sets up Valencia win

  • Juventus 1-0 Valencia (8pm)
  • Mandzukic taps home opener (59)
  • Juve through with point
  • Utd through if Valencia lose/draw
  • Champions League Group H

 

Juventus qualified for the Champions League last-16 after beating Valencia 1-0 in Group H.

The Serie A champions only needed a point to qualify for the next round before the match and Massimiliano Allegri’s side were able to keep a clean sheet.

Cristiano Ronaldo set up Mario Mandzukic with a well-driven low cross to the back post that the Croatia international just had to tap home.

The hosts are currently top of the table heading into the final game in two weeks time, while Valencia are on their way out with Man Utd beating Young Boys 1-0.
