Alvaro Morata had before been denied an objective against his old club by VAR, while Juve's most obvious opportunity saw a Ronaldo free-kick tipped over by Jan Oblak in the initial 10 minutes.

The Serie A bosses looked on course to take a goalless draw back to Turin until Atleti, who will have Diego Costa and Thomas Partey suspended for the arrival trip, snared the triumph.
