Juventus through to Champions League last 16


Rome, Dec 10 (IANS): Italian club Juventus secured a berth in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League football tournament after a drab 0-0 draw with Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

On a freezing Tuesday night in Turin, Juventus dominated last season's runners-up Atletico Madrid but failed to snatch the full three points in Group A, reports Xinhua.

Atletico, beaten 1-4 by city rivals Real Madrid in the final May 2014, survived a first half onslaught to hold on for a 0-0 draw and finish top of the group on 13 points.

Juventus finished second on 10 points, booking their entry to the last 16 for the first time since a quarter-final exit at the hands of eventual winners Bayern Munich in 2013, when Antonio Conte was at the helm.
