In a rematch of last season’s Champions League final, it was the familiar face of Cristiano Ronaldo who proved to be the difference thanks to a record-breaking goal and an emphatic bicycle kick to put away Juventus in Turin.
Ronaldo became the first player to score in 10 consecutive Champions League games and Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Juventus in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but it was one goal in particular that everybody will talking about for years to come.
The Portuguese superstar has scored plenty of great 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.
How incredible was that goal? The fans in Turin were jeering and whistling at him the entire match.
After that goal, the Juventus fans began applauding CR7. Classy move. And total respect for what could be awarded as the best goal of the year.
