Spurs found themselves 2-0 down after just nine minutes inside the Juventus Stadium.
At that stage it looked like Buffon and Co were going to have all their own way.
There was this brilliant save from him against a Harry Kane header from 2 yards out a little later..
BRUTAL! La atajada de Buffon 🙌⚽

But Spurs took the game to the their hosts and scripted an unlikely comeback to end the game at two goals each.
Kane beat Buffon eventually and it was,incidentally the first goal he had let in in 2018 .
Apart from that there were some other statistical milestones
- Juventus had only conceded one goal in their previous 16 games – and none in 2018.
- Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had not conceded a goal for 694 minutes – a run going back to Italy’s World Cup play-off defeat by Sweden in November when the second leg ended 0-0.
- Juve had won their past 10 games in league and cup over the last two months.
- It is only the second time they have failed to win a Champions League home game after being two goals ahead – the last was against Manchester United in the 1999 semi-final second leg.
- Spurs are the first team to wipe out a two-goal deficit at the Juventus Stadium, now called the Allianz Stadium, since the Italian champions moved there in 2011.
- Juve have conceded two goals in a home Champions League game for the first time since February 2016 – 2-2 against Bayern Munich.
- They had not conceded twice in any home game since October when they lost 2-1 to Lazio.
