Casillas - who shared a hug with his goalkeeping rival at the end of the game - said: "Buffon told me that the red card made it easier for them.

"We tried to do well, but those two minutes really changed everything. We could’ve fought it out with Juventus otherwise.

"It’ll be better for us in the second leg if they have someone sent off early on, but either way we need to work hard and keep believing.

"It will be difficult, but we will give it our best in Turin."
