Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock in stunning style as Juventus took on Manchester United in the Champions League.

The 'Old Lady' were labouring against Jose Mourinho's side, despite the fact that they could qualify with a win. Despite having the lion's share of the ball they could not convert possession into clear-cut chances. 

Until Ronaldo stepped up. The former Manchester United player smashed Leonardo Bonucci's long ball past David de Gea with a sumptuous first-time volley. It's a goal that will be remembered for a long time. 

Ronaldo has a lot of love for his former team, but after scoring this one he was off celebrating in the corner. It's his first Champions League goal of the season and a contender for goal of the season. 

It set Juventus on the way and the 'Bianconeri' look in fine touch as they aim to end a 20-year wait for European glory.
