Atletico Madrid will go into Tuesday’s game with a commanding lead from the first-leg but they’d definitely be worried about the presence of Ronaldo in the Juventus team. The Portuguese is a proven goal scorer and that is evidenced by his record in the Champions League.

In fact, this is not the first time that Ronaldo had been faced with such a situation. Three years ago, Real Madrid needed a miracle to advance to the quarter-final of the Champions League after losing 2-0 in the first leg to Wolfsburg.

Although many saw it as a mission impossible, Ronaldo rose to the occasion in the 2nd leg, scoring a sensational hat-trick to overturn the result and seal progression for the Blancos. Against Atletico Madrid, it would not be beyond the Portuguese to repeat such a feat.

The 34-year-old lives for games like these and he normally approaches such games with the mentality to steal the show. Should Ronaldo have a good day, he could singlehandedly send Atletico packing from the Champions League once again.
