Cristiano Ronaldo has proven once again that he is the ultimate big game player as the statistics are revealed for Ronaldo's incredible 125 goals in the Champions League were revealed. The Portuguese forward has scored an astonishing 51% of those goals in the knockout stages of the competition.

It has been revealed today by the 'Daily Mail' that Cristiano Ronaldo has an astonishing record in the UEFA Champions League, scoring over half of his record 125 goals in the knockout stages.

The Portuguese international scored in last night's 1-1 draw with Ajax at the Johann Cruyff Arena, taking his tally to 125 goals, following his stunning hat-trick of goals against Atletico Madrid in the Last 16.

The fact that 51% of those goals are in the knockout stages of the Champions League proves that Ronaldo is the ultimate big game player, following yet another stand out performance last night.

Ronaldo is the highest scorer of all time in the Champions League, with 125 goals, Lionel Messi is second with 108 and Ronaldo's former Real Madrid teammate, Karim Benzema is 3rd on 60 Champions League goals.

The Portuguese star will be looking for more goals for his new side following his move from Real Madrid for £88million, as Juventus are searching for a first Champions League title since 1996.

Ronaldo scored just before half time before David Neres equalised in the 46th minute, leaving the tie wide open heading to Turin next week.
