This game would be etched forever in the minds of Ronaldo fans due to the spectacular bicycle kick their hero scored, which was even applauded by the home fans in the arena.

Real Madrid were off to a flying start in the crucial first leg of the semi-final and it was Ronaldo again who opened the scoring for the away side. He showed great movement inside the box and once the ball came into his feet, he placed it at the left corner of the net beyond a helpless Buffon.

It was in the 64th minute of the game when Ronaldo produced the moment of brilliance. Dani Carvajal crossed the ball into the Juventus box and before anyone could react, the 33-year old went for the acrobatic bicycle kick and timed it to perfection as the ball flew into the net, beating Buffon in goal.

The whole stadium cheered for the wonder-goal and this moment could well have played some part in the transfer which happened a couple of months later.
