Real Madrid v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Semi Final
Ronaldo’s double took him to 16 goals, the highest goal tally in a single Champions League season

Result: Bayern Munich 0-4 Real Madrid C.F

Ronaldo ripped up the defending European champions’ defence with a brilliant performance that propelled this joyful Real Madrid side into the final after 12 years of wait to get their tenth, La Décima.

Ronaldo’s double took him to 16 goals, the highest goal tally in a single Champions League season.

Sergio Ramos destroyed Bayern with a quick brace early into the game and to make matters worse Bayern simply could not deal with Ronaldo and were unable to contain him.

Real Madrid broke loose on various occasions using the pace of Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, with the latter setting up Ronaldo’s first before the break, making it 3-0 on the night.

Real simply converted their devastating counter-attack with BBC at their very best.

Benzema played the ball through and Bale was off and running, sprinting to the edge of the area before selflessly squaring the ball to Ronaldo who calmly stroked the ball into the back of the net leaving Pep with no answer.

And Bayern suffered a final nail in the coffin at the 89th-minute mark when Ronaldo curled a 20-yard free-kick under a jumping wall to stun everyone as Neuer could do nothing but to applaud the genius of this man.

Ronaldo stayed true to his word who after missing a penalty against Bayern in 2012 promised the fans saying "I owe you a champions league final, and I won't fail you this time. Trust in me"
