After a slow first half, Real Madrid had to resort to the boldness of two of their young stars, Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio, to win against Juventus in a match that could not have started worse after an early own goal by Dani Carvajal.

After Carvajal's own goal, Madrid's new leader Gareth Bale managed a draw just minutes before halftime and young Brazilian winger Asensio, with two goals, finished the job in the second half which was clearly dominated by Real on Saturday, reports Efe. Although the Spaniards were the clear owners of the ball from the beginning, pressure from the Italians prevented Real from getting further than the middle of the field.
