A midair flick and a backheel pass leading to a goal - just like something out of a video game.
Juventus drew first blood in the opening leg of its Champions League semi-final tilt against Monaco on Wednesday, as a pair of gorgeous touches from Paulo Dybala and Dani Alves helped tee up Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine, whose struggles in the knockout stages of the tournament have been well-documented, made no mistake.
