Ronaldo stars in Juve’s 3-0 win

Milan, February 16

Cristiano Ronaldo set up Paulo Dybala to score early and added one himself with defender Leonardo Bonucci also on target as Juventus surged 14 points clear in Serie A with a 3-0 win over lowly Frosinone.  Coach Massimiliano Allegri was taking no chances, even against a side sitting second bottom of the table, ahead of next week’s Champions League last-16 tie at Atletico Madrid. Juventus are building towards next week’s game in Madrid and a top-of-the-table clash against Napoli on March 3.

Below-par Atletico win

Madrid: Antoine Griezmann’s deflected volley earned Atletico Madrid a 1-0 win at Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, ending a run of two consecutive defeats for Diego Simeone’s side. Atletico struggled against the 18th-placed Rayo but eventually snatched a late win to move second in the table.

Bayern fight back twice

Berlin: Bayern Munich conceded the fastest own-goal in Bundesliga history and twice had to equalise before securing a 3-2 win at Augsburg in their final tune-up before their Champions League tie at Liverpool. — Agencies
