Good evening and welcome to Nigerianeye's live text coverage of the Champions League semi-final second leg between Juventus and AS Monaco in Turin.
The home side are in the driving seat at the halfway stage of the tie having won the first leg 2-0 last week, and they haven't been beaten in their last 50 home matches across all competitions.
Monaco are faced with the task of becoming the first side in Champions League history to overturn a two-goal home first-leg deficit, but they have won their last seven outings on the road.
Make sure you don't miss a moment of the action courtesy of our minute-by-minute updates below.
OFFICIAL LINE-UPS
MONACO: Subasic; Raggi, Jemerson, Glik, Sidibe; Dirar, Moutinho, Bakayoko, Bernardo Silva; Falcao, Mbappe
JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Alves, Pjanić, Khedira, Sandro; Dybala, Mandžukić; Higuain
Very, very impressive from Juventus. They continue their quest for the treble with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Monaco, winning tonight's second leg 2-1. In truth, this one was over as a contest from the moment Mario Mandzukic gave his side the lead shortly after the half-hour mark, and certainly after Alves doubled that advantage with a stunning volley just before half-time. Monaco did at least become the first team since November to breach this Juventus defence in the Champions League when Kylian Mbappe pulled a goal back, but there was never any danger of them getting back into the tie. Thanks for joining our live coverage of the match!
90+4 min JUVENTUS REACH THE FINAL OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!
90+4 min FULL TIME: Juventus 2-1 Monaco (Juve win 4-1 on aggregate)
90+2 min There will be three minutes of added time at the end of this match.
90+1 min YELLOW CARD! Mandzukic picks up a yellow card for complaining about another incident involving Glik. He needs to keep his head too here.
89 min The wall does its job, though, and it deflects behind for a corner.
88 min Free-kick to Juventus in a dangerous position, and Pjanic is standing over it...
85 min JUVENTUS SUB: Third and final change for Juventus as Barzagli is replaced by Mehdi Benatia.
83 min Higuain does seem to have calmed down now, after instructions from the coaches who must have told him not to miss the final whatever he does.
81 min SHOT! Moutinho tries his luck from distance, and why not at this stage? He drives one towards goal from 25 yards, but it flies a long way over the crossbar.
79 min Higuain is still showing the referee the stud marks in his leg and seems to be eyeing up Glik too. He is furious with the defender over that stamp.
78 min MONACO SUB: Another change for the visitors sees Bakayoko depart and Valere Germain come on.
77 min Well, this game looked like petering out around the hour mark, but we have since had a goal and a few feisty moments too. Monaco aren't going out without making their mark on Juventus.
75 min Higuain is finally back on his feet, but he is not at all happy. He needs to be careful when he comes back on - he looks like he could have revenge on the mind and any stupid action could see him banned for the final.
74 min YELLOW CARD! After a few skirmishes between the two players Bonucci goes into the book. There were two more serious incidents, though, as G
73 min The Juventus players and fans are unhappy here as Monaco don't kick the ball out with Higuain down on the floor and writhing in agony following a challenge from Glik.
70 min MONACO SUB: Monaco make a change in the immediate aftermath of that goal, with Thomas Lemar replacing Bernardo Silva.
69 min Juventus have conceded a goal! I repeat, Juventus have conceded a goal! Perhaps they have switched off a bit in the last couple of minutes, but again Monaco get in down the left here, with Moutinho cutting inside from the byline. He plays a low ball across the face of goal and Mbappe is there to turn it home from close range. Juventus's 690-minute shutout comes to and end - that is 11 and a half hours.
69 min GOAL! Juventus 2-1 Monaco (Kylian Mbappe)
65 min Not much to report in terms of chances in the past 10 minutes or so, with the game going into a bit of a lull. Both sides know that it is over as a contest, and both would probably be happy with the full-time whistle going now.
63 min Almost a chance for Juventus to add a third on the night, and it will come as no surprise to you that Alves is the creator. He swings a cross into the middle which Mandzukic meets, but it comes off his shoulder and goes over. The referee initially awards a corner, but Mandzukic bizarrely tells him that he got the last touch and the official changes his mind to a goal kick. I don't think he would have done that at 0-0!
61 min Juventus can begin to think of Cardiff now, if they weren't already. There will be plenty of Italian eyes on Madrid tomorrow night when they will discover their opponents for the final.
57 min SHOT! Higuain looks to get in on the act with a curler towards the top corner, but he puts it comfortably high and wide of the target. There are more goals for Juve out there if they want them tonight, though.
55 min CHANCE! Almost an immediate impact from Cuadrado as he beats the offside trap to race through on goal down the right. He looks to see if he has support in the middle but then chooses to go for goal himself, only to take too long over it which allows Jemerson the chance to get back and make the block.
55 min MONACO SUB: Monaco respond with a change of their own as Fabinho replaces Mendy.
54 min JUVENTUS SUB: Juve make their second change of the evening as Dybala departs to be replaced by Juan Cuadrado.
52 min YELLOW CARD! Mendy is the second name in the book for Monaco tonight.
50 min Monaco have actually had more possession than Juventus in this match, but Juve have been so ruthless in both ties so far. This has been a steep learning curve for this young Monaco side.
48 min For Monaco, Leonardo Jardim must surely be considering resting players in this second half. They have a big game this weekend which could see them win the Ligue 1 title, and Jardim will not want this game to impact on their domestic hopes.
46 min KICKOFF: Juventus get us back underway for the second half, with only 45 minutes separating them from the Champions League final.
This one is all over. Juventus hold a 2-0 lead at the halfway stage of this match and a 4-0 lead on aggregate, meaning that Monaco now need five goals to progress. Against this Juventus defence that simply is not happening, and Leonardo Jardim may need to switch to damage limitation for the coming 45 minutes.
45+1 min HALF TIME: Juventus 2-0 Monaco (Juventus lead 4-0 on aggregate)
44 min Are you watching, Barcelona? Alves has three assists in this tie, and now he has his own name on the scoresheet - in some style too! A corner is only cleared out as far as the Brazilian, who meets it with a perfect first-time volley that slams into the back of the net. Subasic was out of position having punched the ball, but take nothing away from that strike from Alves.
44 min GOAL! Juventus 2-0 Monaco (Dani Alves)
44 min CHANCE! Big chance for Juve to grab a second as they win the ball high up the field and play it through for Dybala. The striker has space and time to pick his spot, but Subasic is quickly out to meet him and makes a big save.
43 min Mbappe tries to catch Buffon out with a powerful snapshot from a tight angle, but it is optimistic from the youngster and sure enough he blazes it off target.
42 min CLOSE! Stunning piece of defending from Chiellini - he must be the best in the world as a pure defender. Mendy fires a brilliant low ball across the face of goal which is begging to be put in, but Chiellini somehow manages to turn it past the post when it looked like any touch would result in an own goal. If he didn't get a touch to it then Falcao would have been left with a tap-in, so that was brilliantly done by the Italian.
40 min YELLOW CARD! Falcao picks up the first yellow card of the night after slipping into a challenge on Chiellini.
39 min Here is that Juventus goal, which started all the way from the keeper as they hit Monaco on the break...
37 min CHANCE! Juventus are creating chances at will at the moment. Mandzukic fires a brilliant pass forward from deep inside his own half, and suddenly Higuain finds himself with green grass to run into again. He gets a decent shot away too, but Subasic is down well to keep it out.
36 min DISALLOWED GOAL! Juventus have the ball in the back of the net again, although this one doesn't count as Higuain just strayed offside before rolling the ball past the keeper.
35 min That means that Monaco now need four goals to progress tonight, against a side that has conceded just two throughout this season's competition. Not going to happen I'm afraid.
33 min Surely that is tie over now? Juventus finally make one of their chances pay to move 3-0 ahead on aggregate and break the deadlock on the night. It is Alves who is the creator again, as was the case in the first leg, with a pinpoint cross to pick out an unmarked Mandzukic at the back post. He sees his first header well saved by Subasic, but is on his toes to convert the rebound from close range.
33 min GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Monaco (Mario Mandzukic)
31 min SAVE! Fine goalkeeping from Buffon to deny Falcao as the striker took the ball down and released a snapshot from inside the area. The flag is up, but the replays show that Falcao was onside and it may have been raised for the rebound as it fell towards a Monaco man.
30 min Monaco have been on the ropes for the last 10 minutes or so, with Juventus finding so much space almost every time they come forward. Still they just about cling on to their slender lifeline in this tie, though.
28 min CHANCE! Another chance for the home side as Pjanic plays a simple one-two with Dybala to break into the box. Raggi is covering for Monaco, though, and makes a fine last-ditch block to keep the midfielder's effort out.
27 min SHOT! Juventus are really starting to find their feet now and are looking a lot more dangerous coming forward. Alves leads the charge down the right flank this time before delivering a ball into the area which eventually ends up at the back post. Mandzukic is there to tower above his man and turn a header goalwards, but it is a difficult one and drops wide.
25 min CHANCE! Juventus should have that goal here! Higuain turns provider this time by sliding a pass through for Mandzukic, who finds himself with only the keeper to beat. He pokes his finish towards goal, but Subasic makes a big, big save to deny his Croatia teammate.
24 min That should be a warning for Monaco of just how perilous their position is in this tie. The first goal is going to be so important - if Juventus get it then Monaco will need four, while a Monaco goal would be game on.
22 min CHANCE! Big chance for Higuain to kill this tie off! He was deadly in the first leg but this is poor from the striker as he tries to dink a finish past Subasic. It does beat the keeper, but it doesn't have enough on it and Glik is able to hook it away.
21 min This time Juve come forward and Higuain finds himself in a decent position down the right channel, but his pass is behind Dybala and that effectively sees the attack break down. Monaco try to break quickly, but Bernardo Silva's pass is too close to the defender.
19 min Monaco come forward again, with Mbappe playing the ball out to Mendy on the left. The late inclusion whips a good ball into the box which worries Buffon enough to come out for it, but Chiellini is there to put a towering header behind.
17 min There is no onus on Juventus to attack, of course, and they would be quite happy with a repeat of the second leg against Barcelona when they allowed the opposition to have most of the possession but still came away with a 0-0 draw. On the other hand, though, one goal would really kill this one off once and for all.
15 min SHOT! Juve do get forward here, this time with a long ball forward. Mandzukic knocks it down into a good area, but Dybala gets his shot all wrong and skews a tame effort off target when he should have done better.
14 min Juve are beginning to settle and see more of the ball now, but they are still struggling to get out of their own half. They have had very little possession in Monaco territory so far.
12 min This opening 12 minutes has not gone exactly how Juventus would have liked. They have not been able to get going so far and Monaco have been the better team. Coupled with that injury to Khedira and things have been a lot less comfortable for the Italian outfit so far tonight than they were in the first leg.
10 min JUVENTUS SUB: Sure enough there is the change as Claudio Marchisio comes on in place of Khedira. Not a bad sub to be able to bring on!
9 min This is a worry for Juventus already as Khedira goes down with what looks like a hamstring injury. It doesn't look like he will be able to continue here.
7 min SHOT! It may take something special to breach this Juventus defence and Falcao looks to provide it with a long-range drive from wide out right, but it flies a few yards over and Buffon looked to have it covered.
5 min The visitors very nearly get that early goal as a deflected Moutinho strike falls into the path of Mbappe, who nudges it past Buffon and sees it roll agonisingly against the inside of the post. It would not have counted, though, as the flag was up against Mbappe.
4 min Monaco will be pleased with the start they have made to this match, to the extent where it doesn't look like such an impossible task right now. Monaco just need an early goal...
2 min It has been a bright start from Monaco here as they go in search of an early goal to give them some hope. The visitors don't have much choice, I suppose!
1 min KICKOFF: Here we go, then! Monaco get us underway for the second leg of this Champions League semi-final!
