CRISTIANO RONALDO scored a spectacular bicycle kick to put Real Madrid 2-0 up at Juventus in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.
The Portugal striker, having already stabbed his side in front after only three minutes, produced one of the best goals of his prolific career by leaping to convert a 64th-minute Dani Carvajal cross from the right in acrobatic fashion.

Ronaldo’s phenomenal double in Turin means he has scored in a record 10th consecutive Champions League match.
Real ran out 3-0 winners in the end to all but cement their place in the last four.
Marcelo scored the third in the 72nd minute, six minutes after Juventus’ Paulo Dybala was sent off for two yellow cards.
There was another away victory in Tuesday night’s other quarter-final first leg as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Manchester United’s conquerors Sevilla.
Pablo Sarabia put the Spaniards in front after 32 minutes, but Jesus Navas deflected a Franck Ribery cross inside his own near post six minutes later.
Bayern got fortunate with their 68th-minute winner too as Thiago’s back-post header hit Clement Lenglet on its way in.
