But last season-s runners-up, who had been on the back foot for large periods, hit back in the second-half through Paulo Dybala and Stefano Sturaro.

Juve gave themselves hope after the hour mark when Dybala went through on goal and slotted past Manuel Neuer.

And the Juventus Stadium was rocking soon after when Sturaro levelled the scores, prodding home after good work from fellow substitute Alvaro Morata.
