Cristiano Ronaldo sets incredible Champions League record and fans loved the way he celebrated it
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in Champions League history to score in all six group games.
The 32-year-old rifled in a beauty from range as Real Madrid took a 2-0 lead against Borussia Dortmund in the 12th minute.
It was the forward’s ninth goal of the tournament, having already scored against fellow Group H competitors Spurs and Apoel Niscosia.
It’s yet another extraordinary statistic that Ronaldo can add to his collection, alongside being the competition’s all-time top scorer and finding the back of the net the most times in a single Champions League season.
