Juventus fans lauded Cristiano Ronaldo with a standing ovation

Another week, another record! For Cristiano Ronaldo, it was just another day at the office. It's an established fact by now that when it comes to Champions League, the Portuguese is unstoppable.

The 33-year-old took place in headlines after his stunning overhead goal against Juventus last week. With 15 goals from 10 games, he now has scored in every match in the tournament so far this season.

Real Madrid's number 7 seems to be having no competition and he has reached such a stage where his goal comparisons are made to teams rather than players. Cristiano played a pivotal role for Real Madrid yet again by scoring 3 out of 4 goals against Juventus in the quarters over both legs.

It was he who broke the heart of the Old Lady by blasting a penalty past Juve's keeper Wojciech Szczesny in the 98th minute of a nail-biting contest.

Though many ill-knowledged call him Penaldo, it takes heart to fire past a goalkeeper from the spot at the dying moments of the game with immense pressure on the shoulders, the same which, his rival, Leo Messi, failed to achieve twice.

With his performances so far, he has even made his haters must applaud for him.

With 15 goals so far in this competition, Cristiano Ronaldo still remains undisputed and a nightmare for any team.
