Club Atletico de Madrid v Juventus - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg

Undoubtedly one of the two best footballers in the world at the moment, Cristiano Ronaldo has again proved to us this season as to why he will go down as one of the all-time greats.

After switching from Madrid to Juventus this summer, it looked like the 5 times Ballon d'Or winner will find it difficult to score as we know defense in Italy is comparatively stronger than the rest of the world. But to silence his critics, Ronaldo has scored a lot of goals and is currently on top of the goalscoring charts in Serie-A.

The Portuguese have to work ahead to land a fourth straight Champions League winner's medal after Juventus were humbled 2-0 in the first leg of their last-16 clash. But if anyone can surely he is the one. He will definitely try to win the tie for Juventus in the 2nd leg and Atletico will be aware of his talent and hunger.

His finishing ability is the key and he is indeed one of the best finishers in the world as he uses his right-foot beautifully to score goals. He has scored 19 goals in the Italian League and is on the top. He has been the lone leader of the Juventus attack as his partner Mandzukic was injured for a month and he had sure Juventus do not lose any point.
