Champions League preview: Juventus v Man United

Manchester United produced a comeback almost as stunning as Cristiano Ronaldo's volley to secure a late 2-1 Champions League win that will live long in the memory.

A fortnight on from being wholly outclassed by the perennial Serie A champions at Old Trafford, the notable improvements made by Jose Mourinho's side looked set to be undone by a moment of brilliance.

Ronaldo's volley will be replayed again and again, but it counted for nothing as United dug deep to produce a famous late comeback.

Juan Mata's sumptuous free-kick hushed the Juventus faithful and Alex Sandro's late own goal secured a win in Turin that breathes new life into the visitors' Champions League campaign.

Mourinho certainly enjoyed the victory, going onto the pitch at full-time and cupping his ear to jeers from the crowd. A fitting end to a mad evening.

Re-live the action below:

Juventus 1-0 Manchester United, 85 minutes

That change has unsettled the Juventus defence.

Anthony Martial surges into the box and forces Wojciech Szczesny to palm away, and Paul Pogba subsequently wins a free kick in the 'D'.

Great opportunity this. Juan Mata or Ashley Young...

GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Manchester United (Juan Mata, 86 minutes)

Gorgeous, and Manchester United are level!

Juan Mata is the taker and lifts it beautifully over the wall into the top corner. Szczesny took a small step to his left as Ashley Young ran over the ball and couldn't recover to reach Mata's well placed curler.

A lovely free kick.

GOAL! Juventus 1-2 Manchester United (Alex Sandro own goal, 89 minutes)

Manchester United lead!

Ashley Young teases a curling ball to the far post. Wojciech Szczesny rather flaps at the ball falling to his left and the ball rebounds into a group of players two yards out.

It hits Leonardo Bonucci and then Alex Sandro before nestling in the corner of the goal.

Manchester United are minutes away from an unlikely win in Turin.

GOAL! Manchester City 6-0 Shakhtar Donetsk (Gabriel Jesus, 90 + 2 minutes)

Gabriel Jesus completes his hat-trick. A comfortable 6-0 home win for Manchester City

Juventus 1-2 Manchester United, 90 + 3 minutes

Four minutes added on, and Marcus Rashford should seal it.

His shot bounces up off Wojciech Szczesny as the Polis goalkeeper rushes out in a one-on-one situation.

Corner. That might be that...

IT IS ALL OVER IN TURIN! Juventus lose their first game of the season. Manchester United come from a goal behind to snatch an unlikely victory.

Jose Mourinho cups his ear to the crowd as boos and jeers ring around the Allianz Stadium.

Lyon and Hoffenheim's game finished 2-2, so Manchester City's place in the last-16 has not been confirmed just yet.

Still, an excellent performance from Pep Guardiola's side.
