Cristiano Ronaldo delivered an exclamation point to an already sterling day with a brilliant bicycle kick finish that may well have sent Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-final.
The Portuguese superstar had already produced for the Champions League holders, having turned home an Isco cross in the third minute to give Madrid a 1-0 lead in the first leg of their quarter-final tie against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium.
 
The chance came about after Ronaldo had pounced on a mix-up between Giorgio Chiellini and Buffon to win the ball on the byline. Juventus thought they had the situation dealt with after Buffon made a sterling save to keep out Lucas Vazquez when it appeared he would double Madrid’s advantage.
But Carvajal was able to get on the ball and deliver a floating cross that Ronaldo managed to turn into a memorable finish.
It was such a good finish, it appeared to even awe Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.
 
Ronaldo had already made history by scoring in his 10th consecutive game Champions League game. And he capped his night by turning provider in the 72nd minute as Marcelo made it 3-0, to all but punch Madrid’s ticket into the next round, with the second leg at the Bernabeu on April 11.
The brace means Ronaldo has now scored in 10 of his last 11 games, including internationals, and has netted at least a brace in eight of those contests. Overall, he now has 21 goals in his last 11 games.
Excluding his time with Portugal, Ronaldo has now scored in 11 of 12 games, with 23 goals over that span.
 
Cristiano Ronaldo made more Champions League history in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Juventus on Tuesday.
The Portuguese star required less than three minutes to open the scoring in the quarter-final first leg, before adding a spectacular bicycle kick in the second half.
The Blancos took to the field at the Allianz Stadium hoping to lay down an early marker in the first leg of a heavyweight continental clash.
 
Their talismanic forward duly delivered once again, with Ronaldo enhancing his reputation as a man for the big occasion.
Already the all-time leading goalscorer in the competition, the Portuguese is back at the top of the charts for 2017-18 and is showing no sign of slowing down.
Ronaldo's double took him to 39 goals in all competitions this season – more than any other player in Europe’s big five leagues.
 
The Portuguese has now scored nine Champions League goals against Juventus, with no player having scored more goals against a single opponent in the competition.
He is also now the first man in the competition’s history to score in 10 successive appearances, with the records continuing to tumble for the remarkable talent who raises the bar year after year.
 
Ronaldo will be hoping that there are many more goals to come, with Real chasing down a third Champions League crown in as many years.
He has played a leading role in previous triumphs and is looking to win his fifth European title in total.
