Nedved’s impressive night extends further. In the 42 nd minute, Alessandro Del Piero shimmies his way into the Real Madrid box, wiggles his hips like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, wrongfoots two defenders and then shoots low and hard, beating Casillas at his right-hand post. Real were desperately short of their normal inspiration from Zidane and Figo, and it was no surprise when Juventus doubled their advantage on the night and took the lead in the tie three minutes before the interval. To start things off, Nedved’s cross in the 11 th minute was knocked into the path of Trezeguet by Del Piero and the French striker made no mistake. Zinedine Zidane gave Juventus anxious late moments when he pulled a goal back for Real, for whom Luis Figo missed a penalty, but Juventus thoroughly deserved their triumph. Juventus sealed the victory with a third late on from Pavel Nedved. Juventus went on to with the tie, where David Trezeguet and Alessandro del Piero struck in the first half.
