Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 times the Portuguese proved he is the king of the Champions League

#3 Scoring 10 goals in the Knock out stages

Ronaldo scored 10 UCL knockout goals in a season.

Going into the knockout stages in the 2016/17 season, Ronaldo had been in questionable form, only managing 2 goals in the group stages.

Things didn't improve during Real Madrid's round of 16 tie against Napoli, and although Los Blancos advanced to the quarter-finals, Ronaldo drew blanks in both legs of the tie against the Italian team.

However, from the quarter-finals to the final, Ronaldo elevated his game and scored 10 goals in 5 games, averaging at 2 goals per game!

This saw him score 5 goals against Bayern Munich, 3 goals against Atletico Madrid, and 2 goals against Juventus.

Ronaldo also scored back-to-back hat-tricks against Bayern Munch and Atletico Madrid.

Scoring 10 goals in the knockout stages is an unprecedented feat, and it's a record that will be incredibly difficult to match or break.

What makes this feat even more incredible is that the latter stages are comparatively tougher as the biggest clubs face each other, and goals are usually hard to come by in these games.

The fact that Ronaldo scored 10 goals is impressive, but when one considers the level of opposition he faced in doing so, it makes his feat even greater.
