Champions League: Barcelona overcomes Juventus as Morata has three goals disallowed
The HinduOusmane Dembele struck early and Lionel Messi converted a late penalty as Barcelona won 2-0 at Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday after Alvaro Morata had three goals disallowed for offside for the Serie A side. Dembele struck with a deflected shot in the 14th minute for a Barcelona side smarting from Saturday's home defeat by Real Madrid and rocked by the resignation of club president Josep Maria Bartomeu on Tuesday. HIGHLIGHTS: BAR BEATS JUVE 2-0 Messi capped a fluid display from Ronald Koeman's side by firing home the 14th penalty of his Champions League career to seal Barca's first-ever win over Juventus in Turin and leave it top of Group G with six points from two games. Juventus, still missing Cristiano Ronaldo after he tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago and still rebuilding under Andrea Pirlo, failed to record a shot on target despite Morata's efforts.
