UCL: Ronaldo’s Magic Sinks Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo put up another spectacular display yesterday as he scored twice to help Real Madrid record a 3-0 win over 10-man Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Turin.
Ronaldo grabbed the opening goal in Turin after just three minutes and added a second on the hour with a sensational overhead kick, – as the reigning European champions put themselves in the driver’s seat as they look to defend their European crown.
Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in 10 successive Champions League games as he struck twice for holders Real Madrid in a 3-0 win at Juventus, yesterday’s quarter-final first leg, taking him to 14 goals in this season’s competition.
Juventus forward Paulo Dybala was sent off on 66 minutes before Ronaldo set up Marcelo to cap the rout and leave Real in complete control of the tie going into the second leg in Madrid on April 11.
Already, many see the second leg as a mere formality but never say never as far as football is concerned.
