'We will turn the tie around,' says Barcelona star

The Turin-based club said Dybala had renewed his contract until June 30, 2022, topping off a fantastic week for the Argentina worldwide, who scored two goals in Juve's 3-0 win over Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri echoed Dybala's cautious sentiments but was plainly delighted with a performance which was capped with a rare second-half goal from Giorgio Chiellini.

Juventus was aggressive from the start and nearly scored in the third minute when Gonzalo Higuain's header from a free kick taken by Miralem Pjanic was dropped by Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but the Barcelona goalkeeper recovered in time.

The player known as the Jewel, often tipped to be Messi's natural successor, struck again 15 minutes later, meeting Manduzkic's low cross in his stride to beat Ter Stegen inside the near post with another left-foot effort.

"There was Milan Liverpool, that was 3-0 and then went to 3-3 in one half".

Andrew Cuomo (KWOH'-moh) says police are targeting distracted driving because it too often leads to avoidable tragedies. Troopers responded to 129 crashes with injuries which resulted in one fatality and 171 injured.

Barcelona thought it had pulled a goal back on the half hour, but Messi's strike was ruled out as Luis Suarez had strayed offside. "But they made it 3-0 and the situation makes you rush". The hosts kept attacking to the end and former Barca player Dani Alves had a chance to add a fourth but took too long over his shot. It will be hard against such an experienced defense with Juve's BBC of Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli and Chiellini more than capable of handling Barcelona's MSN of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. "It was like reliving a nightmare". We had better positioning in the second half, but the rival also let us have the ball. "We don't feel as bad as in Paris but we have another big mountain to climb".

"The feeling isn't as pessimistic as it was in Paris, but we have a very uphill second leg ahead of us", Iniesta told reporters after the game.

The Spaniard opted to start his team with the same formation against the Italians but it proved to be the reason behind their failure.

"I really like my current position, I already played that way when I was a youngster in Argentina, it gives more freedom and more options".

"If we do what we have done [in the past], we will get back into the tie, but it is impossible". If you don't get it right against teams like them, you pay the price.
