Ronaldo Takes Real Madrid to Champions League Last Four for Record 24th Time


Ronaldo rejoices his goal over Galatasaray

It was Cristiano Ronaldo's day when Real Madrid played their Champions League quarterfinal match against Galatasaray last evening.

Although the match ended in 3-2 in favour of Galatasaray, Real Madrid made it 5-3 on aggregate to reach the last four stage for a record 24th times.

Ronaldo opened the account for Real Madrid in the 8th minutes and then rested and waited like a hungry lion to strike at the right moment.

Meanwhile Galatasaray scored three goals in the second half. Eboue struck in the 57th minute, while Sneijder and Drogba scored a goal each at a minute's interval in the 71st and 72nd minute.



And then they left the match for Ronaldo to win over. Ronaldo struck just before the final whistle in the 90th minutes as he drilled past Fernando Muslera in injury-time - almost 90 minutes after seemingly ending their hopes with the opener.

The home crowd erupted as they sensed a remarkable upset, but in truth Galatasaray failed to capitalise as Mourinho brought on Raul Albiol for midfielder Mesut Ozil to stifle the hosts.
