Alessandro Del Piero scored two stunning goals to give Juventus a 2-0 win at Real Madrid on Wednesday and put the Italians through to the Champions League knockout stage.

The World Cup-winning striker grabbed the opener in the 2-1 win over Real in Turin two weeks ago and repeated the feat after 17 minutes at the Bernabeu, crashing a left-foot shot past Iker Casillas as the defence backed off.

Del Piero's second came from a direct free kick on 67 minutes which he whipped past the wall into the left-hand corner with Casillas rooted to the spot.

With four matches played, Juve top Group H on 10 points with Real second on six.
