Ronaldo is 10 out of 10 for Madrid

Juventus 0 Real Madrid 3 Q-final 1st leg

CRISTIANO RONALDO’S superb double crushed Juventus to put Real Madrid in touching distance of the semi-finals.

The Portgual star took just three minutes to set his latest record.

His run ended with a delicious flick across Gianluigi Buffon, making him the first player to score in 10 consecutiv­e Champions League games.

Juventus should have been level midway through the half, but Gonzalo Higuain’s bullet header from Paulo Dybala’s free-kick was met by a stunning, one-handed save from Navas.

Dybala was rightly booked for a blatant dive in the box just before half-time. And Ronaldo made it 2-0 on 64 minutes (above) with a magnificen­t overhead kick.

Moments later, Dybala was shown a second yellow, before Marcelo as good as booked Real’s place in the semis with a third goal on 72 minutes.
