RONALDO SCORE STUNNER AS REAL THRASH JUVENTUS

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning bicycle kick as Real Madrid beat Juventus 3-0 in Champions League quarter final 1st leg played in Turin on Tuesday night.

The Portuguese put the team into early lead tapping in Isco's cross in 3 minutes from starting time. Both teams created numerous chances but at 64 minutes Ronaldo converted a goal out of nothing when he acrobatically latched onto Carvajal's deviating cross to put the ball past goalkeeper with a bicycle kick.

Minutes later Marcelo scored a third to put visitors in comfortable position before the 2nd leg.

Elsewhere Bayern Munich beat Sevilla 2-1 in the quarter-final first leg but it was Ronaldo's goal which made the headlines.

Juventus fans stood up in applause of the goal which Ronaldo called "possibly the best" of his career.

“Obviously people are talking about my second goal....it was a spectacular goal, possibly the best of my career,” Ronaldo said. “This was one of the nicest moments. To be applauded by the Juventus stadium, where so many great footballers have played, is a top moment for me.

“It's something that stays in your heart...I want to thank all the Italians who were here in the stadium and applauded me.”
