Cristiano Ronaldo proved to be the difference — yet again — in Tuesday’s rematch of the 2017 Champions League final, thanks to a record-breaking goal and an emphatic bicycle kick that put away Juventus for good in Turin.
Ronaldo became the first player to score in 10 consecutive Champions League games and Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory over Juventus in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but it was one goal in particular that everyone will talking about for years to come.
The Portuguese superstar has scored plenty of incredible goals throughout his career, but he may have topped himself with an absolute breathtaking overhead hit from inside the box to break the game open for Real Madrid. Have a look at this jaw-dropping strike:
For those counting at home, that’s 16 goals in 10 games:
- Two goals against Juventus in last season’s Champions League final.
- Two goals against APOEL in this season’s Champions League group stage opener.
- Two goals against Dortmund in the group stage.
- One goal against the Spurs in the group stage.
