Five-time world best footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, took football to a whole new level on Wednesday night, as his brace proved vital to Real Madrid’s astonishing comeback in the first-leg of their UEFA champions league knockout stage match, when they defeated PSG 3 goals to 1 at the Bernabeu stadium.
The defending champions came from a goal down to defeat Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the teams’ last-16 tie on Wednesday courtesy of a brace from Ronaldo and an 86th minute finisher from Marcelo.
The match sprung to life in the 33rd minute when Adrien Rabiot steered in a blaster beyond the reach of Keylor Navas, after Cavani and Neymar failed to catchup with a through-ball. Zidane’s men drew level in the dying minutes of the first half, when Cristiano scored a penalty after Kroos was fouled in the 18-yard.
The Portugal international gave Real Madrid the lead in the 83rd minute with his knee, and Marcelo made it 3-1 three minutes later.
