Juventus moved one step closer to the Champions League knockout stage after winning Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford on Tuesday, as the Italian side beat Manchester United 1-0. It was a lone goal from Paulo Dybala in the first half that saw Juve maintain its undefeated record on the season, and the team moved to nine points in Group H, opening up a five-point lead on United for first.

Ronaldo nearly scored in this one but was stopped by a brilliant save from David De Gea. Dybala's goal proved to be enough. The former Palermo star finished a ball inside the box in the first half:

For those counting, Juve is 11-1-0 on the season and looking sharp as can be, even without Ronaldo scoring as much as he is used to. If he regains his scoring form of nearly a goal a game, they may be no stopping this team in Italy or Europe.
