Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez struck a goal apiece as Juventus boosted their Champions League final chances with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in their first leg semi-final on Tuesday.

Morata, who moved from Real to Juventus last summer, tapped home the rebound from a Tevez strike on nine minutes to send Juventus Stadium into raptures.

The hosts were pegged back just before the half-hour thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's 76th goal in the competition, a simple header that beat Gianluigi Buffon from close range.

But the Turin giants were back in front when Tevez beat Iker Casillas from the penalty spot on 57 minutes after he was felled in the area.

Real, who claimed a record 10th Champions League title last year, host Juventus on May 13.
