However, it was Juventus who took the lead in the 13th minute when Morata's shot was spilled by Roman Weidenfeller and Carlos Tevez reacted quickly to slot home the rebound.

Dortmund hit back and they were level five minutes later when Marco Reus pounced on a slip from Giorgio Chiellini to race through and fire into the corner past Gianluigi Buffon.

Morata and Leonardo Bonucci both headed over as the home side looked to regain their lead.

Both teams were then dealt a blow as Lukasz Piszczek and Andrea Pirlo were forced off with injuries.

With three minutes of the first half remaining, Juventus scored their second goal of the evening as Paul Pogba squared the ball for Morata to slide home from close range.
