Half-time in Cardiff: Juventus 1-1 Real Madrid
Peep! The ref signals half-time and the players troop off for the interval after a very entertaining first half. Juventus started brightly, but conceded a goal against the run of play when Cristiano Ronaldo finished a move in which the Italian side’s defence were carved open with uncharacteristic ease. Real’s lead didn’t last long – Mario Mandzukic equalised with a splendid piece of improvisation, bagging himself a goal fit to grace any cup final.

29 min: My words really don’t do justice to that Mandzukic goal, which was as good as you’ll see in any final. It came at the end of a series of end to end counter-attacks in which both teams found themselves failing to take advantage of three-on-two scenarios. With his back to goal, Mandzuukic chested down a pass from Gonzalo Higuain, before steering a looping effort into the top corner.

GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Real Madrid (Mandzukic 27)
Juvenmtus draw level! Mario Mandzukic equalises for Juventus with a sensational goal! Inside the penalty area, he chests down the dropping ball and, without too much room to manoeuvre, sends an overhead kick into the top corner to make it all square. Incredible stuff.

22 min: Real Madrid take the lead against the run of play and it’s a tidy finish from Ronaldo, who scores his 104th Champions League goal. He played a one-two give-and-go with Dani Carvajal on the edge of the Juventus penalty area, before unleashing a shot that curled away from Buffon and into the bottom corner. I think his effort took a touch off a Leonardo Bonucci on its way in, but would almost certainly have gone in regardless.
20:09
GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Real Madrid (Ronaldo 20)
Real Madrid lead! Ronaldo gives Real Madrid the lead with a low right-footed drive from 20 yards that curled beyond the reach of Gigg Buffon and in to the bottom left-hand corner.
