The attacker scored all of Juventus' goals in the Champions League knockout stage
The Champions League is the biggest stage in European football and it is where Ronaldo often shows us what he is made of. Although his UCL campaign was cut short following Juventus' shocking dismissal at the hands of Ajax in the quarterfinals, Ronaldo was still able to prove to us once again, why he is called Mr. Champions League.

The Portuguese has the finest individual performance to his name in the competition so far this season. After Juventus fell to a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 stage, Ronaldo stepped up and produced an unbelievable performance in Turin by scoring a fantastic hat-trick to send his side through to the quarterfinals.
Even though the Bianconeri were sent packing from the tournament by Ajax in the quarterfinals, Cristiano still proved his class by netting in both legs of the encounter. Having dominated the headlines with these amazing individual performances, it would be unfair to suggest Ronaldo's season has been all bad.
