carpe diem
Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez scored an 88th-minute winner to settle a tense Champions League quarter-final against neighbours Atletico.
The visitors frustrated Real for the majority of the match, but the game opened up when Arda Turan was sent off in the 75th minute.
With the game heading for extra-time - after the first leg ended 0-0 - Cristiano Ronaldo drove forward and squared for Hernandez to slot home.
The runaway Serie A leaders, who are also in the Italian Cup final against Lazio, led 1-0 after the first leg through Arturo Vidal's penalty.
The hosts dominated possession for the majority but rarely tested Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Home substitute Dimitar Berbatov did have a shot smothered after the break.
The Old Lady have become the first Italian side to reach the semi-final since Inter Milan won the competition back in 2010.
The last four draw will be made on Friday, with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid also through.
Italian clubs dominated Europe at the start of the millennium, winning the Champions League three times between 2001-2010, but in recent years they have struggled.
However with Juventus 15 points clear in Serie A and likely to be able to rest a number of players domestically, their bid to end a 19-year wait for the trophy is strong
