Substitute Hector Herrera scored a 90th-minute equaliser to crown a fine Atletico Madrid comeback and deny Juventus victory in the Champions League.

Former Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado produced a sumptuous curling finish to put Juventus in front before a header by French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi made it 2-0.

Stefan Savic sparked Atletico's fightback with a header inside the six-yard area before Herrera struck from a late corner.

Juventus sent on substitute Aaron Ramsey in the 86th minute, the Wales midfielder's first appearance for the champions of Italy since moving to Turin in the summer.

In Group D's other game, Lokomotiv Moscowwon 2-1 in Germany against Bayer Leverkusen.

Juventus host Leverkusen on 1 October while Atletico travel to Russia to face Lokomotiv on the same day (both 20:00 BST).

Can the Juventus revolution lead to Champions League glory?

    Trippier looked back to form with some sharp passing when Atleti chased the game in the last 20. Sometimes people just need a fresh start so good luck to him.

    Both teams I would want to avoid in the next round!!

  • Comment posted by Eat_The_Rich, at 22:55 18 Sep 2019

    Trippier for £20 was an absolute steal.

  • Comment posted by luke s, at 04:08 19 Sep 2019

    These teams have both reached two UCL finals in the last 6 years (and Ronaldo won 4 times in 5 years). So to dismiss Juve and Atletico as mediocre compared to the English teams is pretty delusional.

    Just got back from game whilst on city break. Managed to get a ticket - what an atmosphere - out of this world. Apparently true citizen of Madrid support Athletico - guess it’s a bit like Londoners and Man Utd

    These are the types of games fans are dying to watch. A sheer quality all over pitch. Absolutely brilliant game. from start to end.

  • Comment posted by AFCDale, at 22:11 18 Sep 2019

    Said it before the season started and I'll say it here, Herrera to Atletico on a free in my opinion is the best bit of business any club did this summer.

    Those saying that teams like atleti, psg, Bayern, juve won't cause a problem for 'english' teams perhaps should look at those English teams and notice the lack of English players. Whereas our Spanish, french, Italian and German rivals have quite a few home grown talents in their squads

    Ramsey getting the game time again I see

    @23 Madrid working class support Atletico; rich people / royal family / tourists support Real.

    Glad Trippier played well, mistake to let him leave TH

  • Comment posted by Howzat_Rudi, at 08:30 19 Sep 2019

    The quality on display in this game was superb. Some of the passing moves were so slick. You would think one or both of these teams will get to QFs and SFs.

    What a fantastic game this was.

    Respect to all EPL teams in it this year, but reading the vitriol from the rivals & haters of those teams was hilarious.

    In addition to this match, did anyone see the Bayern and PSG match highlights & the pure, sublime quality on show?

    They made our teams look like part-timers, with one exception &, no, I am not a City supporter.

    Enjoyed this game. A breathe of fresh air after last year's final.

  • Comment posted by Mesh, at 07:08 19 Sep 2019

    It's Atletico Madrid (no H) and Athletic Bilbao (no O at the end), neither are "Athletico"

  • Comment posted by paul hirst, at 12:59 19 Sep 2019

    Decided to watch this match last night and it was a really entertaining game between two of the best sides in Europe. Juventus with Ronaldo in top form are well capable of been in Final in Istanbul next May. And Simeone has done a fantastic job at this Athletico Madrid side, hes made them into a really respected outfit both in La Liga and in European competitions.

  • Comment posted by Harry178, at 10:04 19 Sep 2019

    Does that make Juve a bit Spursy?

  • Comment posted by shutthebbcdown, at 23:54 18 Sep 2019

    These two clubs could meet in the final.
    Juventus my tip to win it this time round..

    Requiescat In pace Fernando

    Dismissing Juve or Athletico would be presumptuous arrogance by supporters of teams in the premier. Both Liverpool & Spurs rolled their luck last season especially in the group stages. Liverpool were fortunate in the dying seconds against Napoli at Anfield when Napoli striker totally unmarked fired straight at the goalie from point blank range! Goalie had also turned his back new nothing about it
