Champions League 2017/18: Ranking the attacking strength of the Semifinalists

#2 - Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo has set unfathomably high standards in the UCL this season.

Real Madrid are looking way too threatening and imperious right now. They'd probably get the better of an All-star team with ease as well considering how well they counter-attack.

They managed to score in each and every game thus far in Europe. Their performance in Turin was a testament to a fact that this is one of the all-time great Football teams.

Paris Saint-Germain suffered a similar fate as well, bowing down to the Los Merengues both home and away. Cristiano Ronaldo's flabbergasting purple patch played a massive role in their success in the last few weeks.

Ronaldo finds himself in a different role currently, but that can't stop him from scoring. Even the Juventus faithful had no other choice but to stand up and applaud this genius after he scored off a bicycle kick in the first leg.

Whilst Ronaldo has 15 goals to his credit this season in the Champions League, no other player managed to hit the double digits. Salah, Firmino, and Ben Yedder scored 8 goals each and are joint-second in that elite list.

Karim Benzema with 2 goals is their second best goal-scorer in Europe this season and this stat proves that Ronaldo is carrying the burden of this side all by himself.

The ever-exuberant Isco has risen to the occasion as well this season and has served Ronaldo with some incredibly delicious balls. Gareth Bale's return is also a huge boost for Zidane.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos always ensure their presence is having an impact and their contributions have been priceless as well.

One of the scariest and frightening sights for any defensive contingent is the counter-attack by Los Blancos. Goodness, gracious! They romp through from one end to the other so smoothly and swiftly that the balls will be inside the netting within a blink of an eye.

A fact that they're a little too dependent on Ronaldo to get the goals might haunt them. Given the Portuguese legend fails to score, will other players step up and complete the job is the conundrum right now.

Having said that, Ronaldo is a perfectionist and a man born for the big occasions. It'll be way too surprising to see Real Madrid not winning the title for the third consecutive time.
