Wolfsburg came to Bernabeu with a healthy lead to protect but Ronaldo had other plans for them.

Within the space of 90 seconds, he scored twice to bring the scores level on aggregate. He scored the first one after Dante and Naldo failed to deal with a low lying cross from Carvajal. Later, he headed in a corner swung in by Toni Kroos after making a darting run in the box.

The ball swirled its way to the left of Benaglio, making its way from a gap in the wall spotted brilliantly by Ronaldo.

In the end, Ronaldo’s hat-trick was enough to take them to the semi-final after a scare in the first leg. Apart from the hat-trick, Ronaldo contributed in other ways to his team's fine comeback win.

His work-rate was phenomenal and kept harrying defenders and this performance grabbed him the match ball along with a standing ovation from the fans for his heroics.
