Juventus and Monaco Into Champions League Semi Finals

The Catalans' coach saw his 15-game European winning streak at Camp Nou come to an end as Juve's stubborn defence held firm to record their fifth straight Champions League clean sheet.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, Barca peppered the Italian goal but failed to repeat their last-16 heroics when they overturned a first-leg 4-0 deficit to beat Paris St-Germain.

Barcelona's front three produced very little against a resolute Juventus defense and bow out quietly from the UEFA Champions League.

"We are very happy with this achievement against such a great side". I will remember that first half there forever and ever.

"Two teams were playing to attack, one out of necessity, but [Juve] have not just locked themselves in. The fairest outcome would have been a win".

"Considering all the games leading up to this, including PSG, we knew that we had to be solid".

"Who next? I think whatever God decides is best".

Wolf said he thinks the H-1B program is good for America, as long as the objective continues to be improving the American economy. The order specifically asks the secretary to review waivers of these rules that exist in free-trade agreements.

"At the start of the season we always set targets, that goes for life, too. It's a night to be proud of".

The semi-final draw will be made on Friday and Buffon believes that Monaco and Real Madrid's involvement in their domestic title races could give Juventus an advantage in Europe.

"We came here knowing that we are a great team and we played like a great team", Cuadrado said. "I tip my hat to Juventus", Luis Enrique told Mediaset Premium.

France may have fallen short in the Euro 2016 final last summer, but if the current generation fulfills its promise, they could be set to dominate worldwide football for many years to come.

Juve's Gonzalo Higuain fired tamely at Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Juan Cuadrado missed another chance but the final whistle was celebrated wildly by the champions of Italy, who have not conceded a single goal from open play in this season's Champions League.

Furthermore, the Spanish outfit have managed to do all of this despite competing in a league where the vast majority of the resources go to the two biggest clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, with Atletico and the other La Liga sides having to feed off scraps compared to what the big two are being afforded.
