Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo further extended his league at the top of the Champions League's top scorers list following his brace in the first leg of the last-16 clash with PSG.

Ronaldo's two-goal salvo took him up to 11 goals for the competition so far, putting him four ahead of closest competitors Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) and Harry Kane (Tottenham), who also both found the net in the first knockout game of this year's competition.

However, Ronaldo's performance wasn't the most impressive of the round, with Sadio Mane's hat-trick for Liverpool against Porto the pick of the performances.
