#4 Champions League Semifinal first leg
The Madrid teams met for the third time in four years in the Champions League, in the semifinal this year. What was supposed to be a tense contest was turned into a one-sided affair by the No.7.
The teams seemed to be on level terms until the tenth minute. In the tenth minute of the game, Casemiro delivered a cross into the box that Ronaldo headed in from six yards out, leaving Jan Oblak helpless, giving the home side an early advantage in the tie.
The match was starting to look like a dull affair and the FIFA Player of the Year had to intervene once again to make something happen. Marcelo's cross into the danger area was slipped to Ronaldo by Benzema, and not one to waste a chance, he drove an unstoppable shot into the top left, to double the lead. The first leg was almost done.
But the man himself decided to put any chance of Atletico's recovery in the next leg to bed, by linking up with Lucas Vasquez and tapping in from close range to complete a hat-trick.
