How does the man in the middle attack work in Diffie–Hellman?

I'm doubt about the mechanism of man in the middle attack in Diffie–Hellman key exchange. I have heard that it can be happened in the key agreement communication. But in the presence of CA (Certificate Authority) the receiver can authenticate the sender as he received the public key of the sender whoever he is. Therefore, how that man in the middle attack is possible????
