article: Experienced Juventus defender and 76-cap Italy international Giorgio Chiellini has made his case for football's most obvious foul. Inside the first minute of Juve's Champions League quarter-final second-leg against Monaco on Wednesday night, the 30-year-old centre-half committed a deliberate handball after slipping onto the turf. With Monaco danger man Joao Moutinho ready to pounce on the Italian's mistake, Chiellini resorted to desperation tactics, comically clawing the ball out of the way and earning himself a yellow card. Giorgio Chiellini scrambles to recover the loose ball after slipping on the turf against Monaco on Wednesday .

In spite of these bizarre shenanigans, Juve were able to progress to the Champions League's last four following a 0-0 at the Stade Louis II. The Serie A leaders won the tie on aggregate, having led from the first-leg 1-0 through Arturo Vidal's penalty in Turin. Juve are on course to complete a historic treble this season, topping Serie A with 73 points from 31 games while they are also through to the final of the Coppa Italia against Lazio on June 7. They have not lifted the Champions League trophy since 1996 and Wednesday's result sees them become the first Italian club to reach the semis for five years. Chiellini's handball, meanwhile, has been mocked mercilessly on social media.
