Dani Alves inspired Juventus to a 2-1 win over Monaco on Tuesday to send the Italian club to its second Champions League final in three years. "Three months ago, some people wanted to strangle Dani Alves," Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said with a smile. "But when a player is good, he's good in June, September and the following June... he hasn't turned mediocre. Kylian Mbappe scored a consolation goal in the 69th minute for Monaco, as Juventus remained on course for the treble. Two years ago, Juventus was in a similar position but it lost the final 3-1 to Barcelona.
