Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
He added another in the second leg to send Los Blancos through

After helping to bring back some life into the Santiago Bernabeu with his spectacular brace against Paris Saint Germain in the first-leg of their Champions League Round of 16 encounters, Cristiano Ronaldo was there once again to finish the mission - leading the team to the Parc Des Princes for the return leg.

Following a quiet first half that produced no goals between the two clubs, the Parisians came back with more intensity in the second half as they aimed to overturn their 2-goal deficit before time runs out.

However, Ronaldo quickly killed any hopes of a revival from the Ligue 1 outfit, sending a ferocious header into the back of the net shortly after the restart. Even though Edinson Cavani pulled one back in the 71st minute, Casemiro reinstated the lead 9 minutes later as Ronaldo helped the team to qualify for the semi-final of the tournament and eased tension in the Spanish capital.
