Untoppable Cristiano Ronaldo smashed home a penalty in the seventh minute of stoppage time to take Real Madrid through to the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday night, despite a 3-1 defeat on the night to Juventus after a remarkable comeback attempt by the Italians.
After leading 3-0 after the first leg, Real was down 3-0 to Juventus in stoppage time when Lucas Vazquez was taken down in the box by Medhi Benatia. The ref gave the penalty kick, and Ronaldo converted it in the 98th-minute to see Real go through 4-3 on aggregate.
Then, it happened
At 3-3, the match was on its way for extra time. One more goal from other team would likely be the winner, and though Real Madrid had some chances, a goal seemed unlikely. That is until Ronaldo headed down to Vazquez in the box. And the penalty was called, before things went bonkers:
Backup goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny comes in to try and stop Ronaldo's potential winner, and Ronaldo doesn't miss.
