Cardiff awaits the Italian champions on the 3rd June after outclassing Monaco over two legs.
Juventus booked their place in the Champions League final with a 4-1 aggregate victory over AS Monaco. It will be the second final they contest in three years.
Goals from Mario Mandzukic and Dani Alves provided victory in Turin, and it was the latter who was the star of the two ties. The 34 year-old Brazilian right back had a hand in all four Juventus goals – scoring one sublime volley and assisting the other three.
What a strike!

This will be Juventus’ ninth European cup final in their history, winning the competition in 1985 and 1996. They do hold the unwanted record of finishing runner-up on most occasions – a total of six times. Barring a monumental shock at the Vicente Calderon in the second semi-final, we will see a repeat of the 1998 Champions League final, in which Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0.
