Ronaldo has had a slow start to his Champions League campaign this season, failing to impress in his European debut with Juventus when they faced Valencia for their opening fixture as well as earning a red card for his conduct during the game which kept him out of action for one game.
The Portuguese has only managed 1 goal and 2 assists in Europe this term, giving Lionel Messi the opportunity to move ahead with 6 efforts and that could have given the Argentine a huge boost in the Golden Shoe race as games are expected to get tougher during the knockout stages.
