Something magical happened at Turin last night. The 5 times Ballon d’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo scored one of the great Champions League goals as his incredible bicycle kick helped Real Madrid demolish Juventus in their own backyard in the first leg of the final eight of the UEFA Champions League.

Ronaldo made history within the first 3 minutes of the game, as he brilliantly glided the ball in the back of the net from Isco’s cross to become the first player in the history of Champions League games to score 10 consecutive goals in the competition.

Talking about Ronaldo’s second goal of the night. Looking at how high his foot is, when he goes for the audacious kick with Mattia de Sciglio jumping up to head the ball and Ronaldo hammering the ball in the back of the net with his foot above Mattia de Sciglio’s head. It was not just a show of how good his technique is to get up and hit the ball in back of the net – but also his ability to land properly as well. It was one special Champions League goal from the Portuguese beast.

Such was the brilliance of the strike that Juventus fans stood up to applaud the goal that probably ended their hopes of going through.

With 2 goals down, things went from bad to worse for the side from Turin, as Paulo Dybala was shown a second yellow card for a high boot in the chest of Dani Carvajal.

Marcelo made it 3-0 for the travelling team when he played a brilliant one-two with Ronaldo, before beating Buffon from a close range.

Ronaldo could have scored a hattrick and increase Real’s lead as he missed from close range.

Juventus had their share of chances but couldn’t capitalize in any of it as Keylor Navas made a few good saves to keep the side from Turin at bay. Cuadrado probably had the best chance to get a goal for Juventus in the dying minutes of the game as his shot went wide of the post.

Juventus now travel to Madrid for the second leg of the final eight as they have a humongous task to overturn this deficit.
