Video: Raheem Sterling outpaces Cristiano Ronaldo to win the ball

Cristiano Ronaldo and Raheem Sterling during Real Madrid vs Liverpool

Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo had a rare off night in front of goal during Real Madrid’s 1-0 win against Liverpool in the Champions League.

The Portuguese failed to find the net and was denied on several occasions by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. The Liverpool defence also managed to contain the ace forward on the night which was quite impressive considering the brilliant run of form he has been enjoying.

However, one of the memorable moments of the game was the duel between Ronaldo and Raheem Sterling. The 29-year-old tried to run down the flanks and go past the England International. But Sterling was quick to react and beat him with pace, recovering the ball ahead of the Portuguese.

Here is the video.
