While he started slowly in the Champions League this term, Ronaldo stepped up to prove that he is still the man for the job last week. He bagged a fantastic hat-trick to help Juventus overturn a 2-goal deficit against Atletico Madrid, which brings his tally to 4 goals and 2 assists in 7 appearances so far.
The Portuguese superstar has entered his European mood right now and that spells huge trouble for his opponents in the competition. With Ajax up next in the quarterfinals, all eyes will be on him to continue with his amazing goalscoring exploits.
