The Spanish striker found the back of the net from close range to haunt his former side for the second straight week:
A penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo gave the home side the lead after 23 minutes as he converted from the spot following Giorgio Chiellini’s clumsy foul on James Rodriguez in the area.
The home side are without a win in their last two games and have all but conceded the La Liga title to fierce rivals Barcelona after being held to a 2-2 draw against Valencia at the weekend, meaning they have to win this competition for the second year running in order to avoid finishing the season empty-handed.
Meanwhile Juventus, who have already wrapped up the Serie A title, have been boosted by the return of key midfielder Paul Pogba.
