Alvaro Morata cuts the image of a frustrated figure after scoring a hat-trick of offside goals as Juventus were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona.

Juventus had to play without their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains in isolation after testing positive for coronavirus for the third time.

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi had the show all for himself.
