Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible Champions League form continued on Tuesday as he matched yet another record by scoring at Paris Saint-Germain.
Real Madrid edged the French champions 2-1 (5-2 on aggregate) to progress to their 35th quarter-final.
The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring in the 51st minute at Parc des Princes.
With his towering header from Lucas Vazquez’s cross, Ronaldo scored for the ninth straight game in the competition, equalling Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record set between 2002 and 2003.
In eight Champions League appearances in 2017-18 thus far, the ex-Manchester United forward has scored 12 times, including four doubles.
The last time he failed to find the net was last year’s semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Amazingly, that match was still part of a run of 10 goals in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final as Madrid won the competition for a second straight season.
