Cristiano Ronaldo extends his legend in the Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history in the Champions League with a brace on Tuesday against Juventus, the second of which was a spectacular bicycle kick, which helped Real Madrid win 3-0 and virtually secure a spot in the semifinals.
As expected, the Portuguese star's achievement generated a passionate reaction among his fans, including renowned journalist Tomás Roncero, who did not hesitate to declare his love for the fantastic night Ronaldo had at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

"Stop the world. Enough with the absurd debates. The goal of the century. The goal of my life. I love you @Cristiano. YOU ARE THE GREATEST. GOLDEN BALL. THE BEST. REAL MADRID'S GOD," the 'AS' journalist tweeted after seeing CR7's goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo surpasses Sevilla's Wissam Ben Yedder by six goals, who failed to score in the defeat against Bayern Munich (2-1), and is seven goals ahead of Brazilian Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, and Englishman Harry Kane (Tottenham), although the latter two can no longer improve their records as their teams have been eliminated.
The Portuguese superstar also continues to increase his lead in the all-time Champions League goal-scoring chart (since 1992-1993), with 119 goals, compared to Lionel Messi's 98, who will have the opportunity to narrow the gap against Roma on Wednesday.
