Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick keeps Juventus' Champions League dream alive
One of the greatest players of his generation, a five-time Champions League winner, the competition's all-time record goalscorer, Ronaldo's brief was clear: Bring the European crown back to Turin.On Tuesday night, he accepted the challenge in a way only he could, dragging his side back from the brink and firing it into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Juventus, so insipid in the first leg three weeks ago, dominated the opening stages and felt it should have gone ahead after just four minutes when Ronaldo challenged Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak, and the ball fell to Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini to fire home.As Juventus players rushed to celebrate, referee Bjorn Kuipers ruled out the goal for a foul by Ronaldo.
