Watch: Juventus fans give Cristiano Ronaldo a standing ovation for bicycle kick goal

Jack O'Toole

Juventus fans have given Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo a standing ovation for his bicycle kick goal in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Juventus on Tuesday evening.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in the third minute with a flick to the corner after making a great run to the near post before doubling his tally in the 64th minute with a goal that TV3 analyst Kevin Kilbane described as ‘one of the greatest goals in the history of the Champions League’.

The Juventus fans, who had been quick to rush and shout at Ronaldo for an earlier miss when he ran into the advertising boards, gave the Portuguese international a standing ovation at the Allianz Stadium.

Ronaldo could have added a third, and what should have been a fourth minutes from time, however, he did assist Real Madrid’s third goal of the match after playing a nice one-two with left-back Marcelo before the Brazilian international rounded Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to score.

Real Madrid will now head back to the Bernabeu for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with a three goal away leg advantage.
