Juventus and Inter Milan both scored crucial wins in the UEFA Champions League but Roma and Fiorentina suffered defeat. The highlight of Match Day 3 was Alex Del Piero's wonder-goal against Real Madrid.
An Alessandro Del Piero stunner and Amauri header brought Juventus back to life by defeating Real Madrid 2-1!
Amauri flicked the Claudio Marchisio ball back for Del Piero's first-touch powerful right-foot strike from 25 yards for Juve's first goal. The power of the snapshot stunned Iker Casillas, who was rooted to the spot.
Straight after the restart, Amauri doubled Juve's advantage in Turin. Nedved intercepted a weak pass down the left channel and crossed to the six-yard box for Amauri's header, which took a deflection off Heinze to leave Casillas stranded.
Real Madrid's goal came when a cross from the left found Ruud Van Nistelrooy's header into the ground. He was left far too much space for a totally free header from six yards.
