Manchester United v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Round of 16
Ronaldo refuses to celebrate after scoring the winner against Manchester United

It was one of the biggest homecoming events in history of football. The goal-scoring leviathan, nurtured and molded at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo was back in Manchester, looking for another goal at the stadium from where he had announced himself onto the world stage.

Having scored a goal already in the first leg of the round of 16 fixture of the 2012-13 season, Ronaldo was ready to make his visit to his former club a memorable one.

He delivered on all this buildup when he met a cross near the 6 yard box to score the winning goal that eliminated The Reds from the competition, but it was his first leg header which was much more memorable, given it was his first against his former club.
