Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stoppage time penalty to secure Real Madrid’s path into the Champions League semi-finals after Juventus had battled back from a 3-0 first leg deficit.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was sent off in the penalty incident after he confronted referee Michael Oliver following the decision to award the spot-kick for a Mehdi Benatia foul on Lucas Vazquez.
Chiellini was also incensed by the decision and television replays caught the defender appearing to make a money gesture towards Madrid players while saying "you pay, you pay".
The centre-back repeated the feat moments later as Ronaldo prepared to take the penalty which sent Real Madrid through.

It was the Portuguese star’s 15th goal of this season’s Champions League and he has netted in every single European tie for Los Blancos.
The penalty, which Cristiano Ronaldo dispatched into the top corner, also meant the 33-year-old has scored in each of his last 11 Real Madrid games.
Buffon was sent off in what is likely to be his last Champions League game.
The legendary Italian goalkeeper announced in October that this would be his last Champions League game unless Juventus won the competition.

The 40-year-old won the World Cup in 2006 and has also claimed eight Serie A titles, four Italian Cups and a Uefa Cup, but has never won the Champions League.
That’s despite playing in three finals, all for Juventus.
AC Milan got the better of the Old Lady in 2003 while Barcelona claimed victory three years ago.
Buffon was on the losing end against Real Madrid last year with Ronaldo starring as Zinedine Zidane’s men were 4-1 winners.
