It had to be him, hadn't it? He might not have performed well in the first-leg but he gave all his best in the second-leg at home. At 34 years of age, Ronaldo destroyed Atletico's world-class defence single-handedly. After his performance tonight, he will certainly be regarded as the King of Champions League, a legend that everyone will remember for long.

Cristiano scored his first goal in his typical style, rising above the defense and heading a cross in. The second one was similar, it was another strong header from the Portuguese legend. He might just be the best header the game has ever seen.

His third goal came from a penalty, which was won by Bernardeschi. Ronaldo stepped up under pressure and fired Juventus through to the next round of the Champions League.

This season's knockout stage of the Champions League has been all about comebacks and we have witnessed another one at the hands of the GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo.
