Cristiano Ronaldo: You won’t believe how Gareth Bale reacted to Real Madrid strike - VIDEO
CRISTIANO RONALDO scored one of the best goals the Champions League has ever witnessed last night.
Manager Zinedine Zidane was left scratching his head in disbelief over what he’d just seen.
Fans of Juventus at the Allianz Stadium rose to their feet to applaud the wizardry bit of skill they’d observed.
But there was one man who didn’t seem to be in the celebratory mood throughout Ronaldo’s astonishing night in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Juventus in the first leg of their quarter-final Champions League clash.
It was the Portuguese’s second goal that made all the headlines and had everybody talking.

The 33-year-old rose almost unnaturally high before acrobatically firing the ball past Gianluigi Buffon with an incredible bicycle kick as he connected with Dani Carvajal’s cross.
And while that goal sparked crazy celebrations on the bench, Ronaldo opening the scoring inside three minutes with a close-range finish also sent the staff on the touchline wild.
But it seems his team-mate Gareth Bale wasn’t too impressed with the goal judging by his subdued reaction.
Bale, who was an unused substitute for the game, was spotted barely cracking a smile as Ronaldo netted.

Cameras show the former Tottenham star merely leaning forward out of his seat with a slow clap as his team-mates and club staff around him celebrate wildly.
Speaking about Ronaldo’s second stunning strike, manager Zidane said: “Cristiano Ronaldo is different. He’s a different player to everyone else and he always has this desire to do something extraordinary in the Champions League, he never rests on his laurels.
“His overhead kick was remarkable, yet he missed two much easier chances. That’s football.”
Ronaldo will hope to add to his tally and Bale to get some minutes under his belt when Madrid host Juventus for the second leg next week.
