#4 Cristiano Ronaldo: Juventus vs Atletico Madrid
Juventus Stadium (March 12, 2019)
Two goals from Atletico Madrid's centre-back pairing of Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez gave the Spaniards a 2-0 first-leg victory in their Round of 16 clash with Juventus and installed them as heavy favourites to progress ahead of the second-leg in Turin.
Over the last few years, Los Colchoneros have become the most defensively solid side in Europe under Diego Simeone's management and indeed, they came into the return fixture with Juventus having kept five consecutive clean sheets.
However, the Spanish side knew too well the danger posed by Cristiano Ronaldo, having been on the receiving end of two hat-tricks from him and with the Real Madrid legend in Juventus' ranks, Diego Simeone would have been careful not to get too excited.
Against any other team and any other player, Atletico Madrid holding a 2-0 advantage is game, set, and match, but Ronaldo is a special breed and he was at the height of his powers in the second-leg fixture.
It happened to be a case of lightning striking thrice, with Cristiano Ronaldo almost single-handedly eliminating Atletico in their new home.
Two headers in either half and a late penalty turned the tie on its head and condemned Atletico Madrid to an unlikely elimination, ensuring that they would not partake in the Champions League final held in their home stadium.
