2015/16: Real Madrid vs Wolfsburg (UEFA Champions League)
Real Madrid faced Wolfsburg in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League quarter-final. With the domestic trophies out of their hands in long, interim boss Zidane’s team lost 2-0 away to their German opponents. In the second leg, Wolfsburg went completely defensive but the miraculous Ronaldo still managed to save the Whites’ skin. The forward scored a hat-trick in that fixture to steer Real into the Champions League semi-finals. His third was a direct free kick of unbelievable composure.
That goal helped Real Madrid to register a 3-0 win on the night and a 3-2 aggregate score in their favour.
