Twitter explodes as Cristiano Ronaldo creates a record and inspires Real Madrid to 2-1 win at Bayern Munich

Arturo Vidal scored first, Arturo Vidal missed a penalty next that saw an eventful first half come to a close. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the second half, Javi Martinez got sent off for pulling Ronaldo down twice in quick succession... and then Cristiano Ronaldo scored again. What a game as the Portuguese great wrote his name into the record books while the master was taught something new by the apprentice.

How do you ever write off Cristiano Ronaldo?

Critics can constantly say that Ronaldo is 'finished', but it's simply not true. Every single year he answers them and breaks records.

With Marcelo struggling and Bale looking closer to €9m than €90m, Ronaldo stepped up. Scored twice, caused a red, and nearly set up a third.

Ronaldo drags Real Madrid from a 1-0 deficit to a 2-1 away win. First ever player to score 100 European goals. Legend. Iconic. Phenomenon.

Neither Luis Suarez, nor Lewandowski, Higuain, Mbappe, Benzema or even Kane. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best centre forward in the world

The Ronaldo masterclass will be harder for Barca fans to take than the humiliation from Juve last night.

Zinedine Zidane was absolutely incredible

Ancelotti getting exposed by Zidane ...I'm laughing my pants off atm

— Sid The Culé (@SidTheCule) April 12, 2017

Zidane's type of coaching is what Madrid requires. Tranquil, motivator and low key boss.Rafa had 20Kg notebooks on the bench and what?

— Sports Obama (@SaddickAdams) April 12, 2017

When Real Madrid lose it's always Zidane's fault... When Real Madrid get a huge win, Zidane never seems to get the praise. #FCBRMA

Of course People couldn’t get enough of Vidal’s penalty:

Have to disagree with that one

Vidal is the donkey of the day, not Martinez
