The Italians were the first to welcome their opponents at home as Zidane's men traveled to the Italian soil for this important game. As usual, Cristiano got the chance to prove his class and continue entertaining football fans. In fact, this is another match in which the attacker mesmerized for 90 minutes.

It took the Portuguese just 167 seconds to make his presence felt in the Allianz Stadium, scoring the fastest goal in his Champions League career. Marcelo flicked a beautiful pass which found Isco on the left. The playmaker sashayed towards the box before sending a low cross which Ronaldo finished from close range.

A moment of magic followed as the 33-year old scored one of the most impressive goals in his entire career. After an initial effort was cleared, Dani Carvajal sent a brilliant cross into the air. Ronaldo rose high and met it with a terrific overhead kick that kept Gigi Buffon motionless and astonished. Such was the class of the goal that even the Juventus fans acknowledged it with a standing ovation.

Later, Ronaldo liberated Marcelo with a perfect one-two which the Brazilian scored to claim a 3-0 victory for the visitors.
