Cristiano Ronaldo stats: INCREDIBLE Champions League goals and assists record revealed
CRISTIANO RONALDO stats prove his incredible influence in the Champions League. Express Sport rounds up how impressive the Man Utd, Real Madrid and Juventus star has been in Europe.
Cristiano Ronaldo has lit up the Champions League throughout his glittering career and will be hoping to keep smashing records for Juventus.
The Portuguese superstar made his debut in the prestigious European tournament back in 2003 for Manchester United.
Ronaldo was just 18 years old at the time and despite his first taste of the Champions League ending in a 2-1 defeat to Stuttgart, he won a penalty that Ruud van Nistelrooy coolly dispatched.
Since then, he has won the trophy five times – one with United and the rest with Real Madrid.
The 34-year-old will be desperate to inspire Juventus to their first European trophy since 1996.
Ronaldo was brought to Turin for the purpose of lifting club football’s most sought-after prize.
Now he has the chance to make his class show when he returns to Madrid tonight, with Atletico Madrid standing in the way of a quarter-final spot.
