Real Madrid moved a step closer to quenching their obssession of taking the tenth Champions League trophy home as they destoryed Bayern Munich 0-4 in thesecond leg of the Champions League semifinals in the Allianz Arena.The match saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos score twice, and now the team is en route to a final in Lisbon, Portugal.Here are the seven records among many others that were broken last night:
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo breaks Lionel Messi\'s record
The man made a promise after Real Madrid's defeat on penalties to Bayern Munich two seasons back that he owned the fans a Champions League final, and he will give it to them. Now, almost two years later he has lived up to his promise as he helped Real Madrid secure a 0-4 win over Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. With the brace he scored on Wednesday, he overtook Barcelona forward Lionel Messi's record of scoring the highest number of goals in a signgle Champions League season.
Messi had 14. Cristiano Ronaldo has found the net a record 16 times this season. [Ronaldo still has a game in hand.]
The only player who has scored more goals than Ronaldo in European competitions in one season is Radamel Falcao in the Europa League (18). His goal celebration would tell you how driven he was after he knew he had broken the record. He used his hands to indicate to the number 15.
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo reached a personal milestone
250th goal in 243 matches. Let that sink in for a while.
A breakdown of his goals in the five seasons he had played for Los Merengues:
2009/10: 33 goals in 35 matches
2010/11: 53 goals in 54 matches
2011/12: 60 goals in 55 matches
2012/13: 55 goals in 55 matches
2013/14: 49 goals in 44 matches (Yet.)
Total: 250 goals in 243 games
To average a goal a match every season is something only a few manage to do, and Ronaldo doing it almost every season makes it look so simple. To put things into perspective, teams such as Cardiff and Norwich have managed to score 31 and 28 goals from 31 and 36 matches respectively.
#3 Real Madrid equal Barcelona\'s record
With their progress to the UEFA Champions League final after eliminating title holders Bayern Munich, Real madrid have reached the final of a European club competition for a record 17th time thus equaling Barcelona's recordReal Madrid have reached of the Champions League final 13 times, while they have progressed to the Club World Cup and UEFA Cup final twice.
#4 The record that Iker Casillas broke
Real Madrid skipper Iker Casillas has now won more matches than any other Real Madrid player in the long history of the club. In addition to that, he has overtaken former Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar as the goalkeeper with the highest number of matches played in European competitions.
Iker Casillas stands at 143 matches, one more than Van der Sar's 142. Former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has played 141 matches.
#5 Bayern Munich break their own record
With a 0-4 defeat at home, Bayern Munich have recorded their biggest home loss in all of European competition.
Their previous worst home defeat came against Madrid's fiercest rival Barcelona This was Bayern's worst home defeat in the competition and it equaled its biggest loss overall - 4-0 at Barcelona in 2009. Their third worst home defeat was against Dinamo Zagreb in Fairs Cup March 1963, the match that they had lost 1-4.
#6 The record that Sergio Ramos broke
Sergio Ramos was the hero for Real Madrid last night as he gave them a 0-2 lead in the first 20 minutes itself. While doing so, he became the third defender to have scored a brace in a Champions League match for Real Madrid after Christian Panucci and Roberto Carlos.
#7 Real Madrid have scored the highest number of goals in a single UEFA Champions League season
Real Madrid have set a new Champions League record of scoring the highest number of goals in a season season: 37 in total. Their previous most prolific Champions League season was when the team scored 35 goals four times, in the 99/00, 00/01, 01/02 and 11/12.
The BBC, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale share 26 goals among them.
