[dropcap]C[/dropcap]hampions League returned on Tuesday night and Madrid hammered Juventus away from home courtesy of a Ronaldo Masterclass.
Here, Brila.net is sharing a few points you may have missed as you get carried away with the Cristiano Ronaldo’s early brilliant effort.

Ronaldo is also the first player in Champions League history to score in 10 consecutive games (16 goals).
On top of that, the Real Madrid forward has scored in each of his six appearances against Juventus (10 goals).
(2) Dybala getting into a bad habit

The game against Real Madrid on Tuesday night was his third of the season against Spanish opposition.
It was also the second game against teams from La Liga in which he has been accused on diving. In November against Barcelona, it was suggested he dived to try and win a penalty.

What you will also have to live with, however, is the ever-growing number of yellow cards dished out to the defender.
This time he went into the referee’s notebook for a blatant push on Dybala. It was his 400th yellow.
(4) Is Isco finally replicating national team form?

The accusation has been that Isco hasn’t played as well for Real Madrid as he has for Spain.
It is little harsh given it’s not often a player will score four goals in a game as he did in the 7-1 win over Argentina.
Indeed, he went a way to silencing his critics by performing a key role between midfield and attack, having a 100 percent pass completion record in the first half and nutmegging Douglas Costa.
