Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in history
to score 100 goals in the Champions League after his hat-trick fired Real
Madrid past Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening.
The 32-year-old ran to Madrid’s rescue once again as
Zinedine Zidane’s side looked close to being eliminated at the quarter-final
stage.
Ronaldo netted an equaliser after Robert Lewandowski
opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the second half.
But with just 13 minutes remaining, Sergio Ramos guided
the ball into his own net to force extra time.
Cristiano Ronaldo netted three times for Real Madrid in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final win over Bayern Munich and, in doing so, beat Lionel Messi in the race to become the tournament's first player to reach 100 goals.
Last
week, the Portuguese international's second-half double in Los Blancos' 2-1 win
at the Allianz Arena moved him to 97 goals in Europe's premier cup competition
(excluding the play-off rounds), three ahead of his Argentine rival, who failed
to register as Barcelona suffered a 3-0 loss at Juventus the night before. On
Tuesday, Madrid's main man made history.
