Juventus will look to finish the job and secure a place in the Champions League final for the second time in three years when Monaco visit on Tuesday.
The Italians hold a 2-0 advantage from their semi-final first leg at the Stade Louis II and are strong favourites to advance.
Juve head coach Massimiliano Allegri rested several key players for their 1-1 draw against Torino at the weekend but they struggled at times despite playing with a numerical advantage for more than half an hour.
The Bianconeri needed a stoppage-time equaliser from substitute Gonzalo Higuain to secure a point and missed the chance to extend their league record to 34 straight home wins.
They will again look to Higuain to lead their attack on Tuesday, especially after the Argentina forward scored both goals in the first leg.
Higuain hadn't previously scored in a Champions League knockout match since 2013.
Monaco, who beat Nancy 3-0 on Saturday, are bidding to become the first team to overturn a 2-0 first-leg home defeat in the Champions League knockout stages.
