Ronaldo lasted just 45 minutes after twisting his ankle

Luis Suarez put Barcelona ahead with just 10 minutes gone, but Real Madrid soon hit back.

Karim Benzema did brilliantly to nod Toni Kroos' cross back across goal and Ronaldo did the rest, tapping home from close range.

However, the goal came at a cost, with replays clearly showing the Portuguese twisting his ankle as Gerard Pique attempted to prevent him from finding the net.

With just 20 days to go until the Champions Legaue final, the incident is likely to have scared one or two Real Madrid fans, particularly after he did not appear for the second half, with Marco Asensio coming on in his place.

Ronaldo's absence would be a huge blow to Madrid's hopes of landing a third straight Champions League crown.
