Juventus hosted Dynamo Kyiv at the Allianz Stadium on matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League. With three wins from four games, Andrea Pirlo's side came into the game with one foot in the Round of 16 of the competition. In what was a routine win for the hosts, Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet again, as Juventus recorded a 3-0 win to make it through to the knockout stages.

In terms of the team selection, Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the starting XI grabbed all the headlines, as the Juventus forward partnered Federico Chiesa and Alvaro Morata up front. However, the game also marked the first time a female referee took charge of a men's UEFA Champions League game, as Stephenie Frappart successfully officiated the European encounter in Turin.

Chiesa broke the deadlock for his side with a brilliant header, as he scored his first goal for his new club after a big-money move in the summer.
