Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 100 times in Uefa competitions Cristiano Ronaldo ended a seven-month Champions League goal drought as holders Real Madrid came from behind to beat 10-man Bayern Munich in the first leg of their quarter-final in Munich. Ronaldo, the Champions League's record goalscorer, scored twice in the second half to end an 11-hour wait for a goal and put the 11-times winners in charge. Arturo Vidal had headed Bayern ahead but then wasted a chance to double their lead when he blasted a penalty over the crossbar. And Ronaldo then twice clinically converted from crosses either side of Javi Martinez's red card to move to 97 Champions League goals. Bayern were kept in the game after going down to 10 men by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who saved brilliantly from Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Ronaldo. But the Germany international will feel he should have done better for Ronaldo's winner as the Portuguese stabbed a shot through...

Barcelona vs. Juventus score, highlights: Dybala and Co. destroy helpless Barca

Barcelona vs. Juventus score, highlights: Dybala and Co. destroy helpless Barca

Juve has a foot into the semis with this result

Northern Italy is a charming, comfortable and welcoming place. With its rich culture, brilliant architecture and caring people, it’s a destination for many lucky enough to travel. But Barcelona doesn’t want to go back there anytime soon.
Lionel Messi and company went to Turin to face Juventus on Tuesday in the Champions League quarterfinals, and it was the Italians who demolished their guests with a stunning 3-0 victory in the first leg. Two goals from Paulo Dybala in the first half and a header from Giorgio Chiellini in the second cemented another embarrassing scoreline for the Catalan club, who were thoroughly outclassed.
Dybala had his coming out party , scoring the opener seven minutes in with a nifty turn and strike:

The Argentinian does it! No, not that one...

Dybala gives Juventus a 1-0 lead vs Barcelona.

Then, just moments after Gianluigi Buffon made a world-class save on Andres Iniesta , Dybala made it 2-0 with a violent, low strike:

Dybala does it again!

La Joya now has 4 goals in 7 matches.

Barca pushed forward and was able to get close to goal but Buffon and the strong home defense were able to contain them for the most part and not concede, despite Barca having a pair of quality chances.
Juventus then made it 3-0 in the 55th minute with this header from Chiellini:

Chiellini vs Mascherano on a corner? Advantage Chiellini.  
1:34 AM - 12 Apr 2017

With the result, it’s another road disaster for Barca. Including the loss at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the round of 16, Barca has allowed seven goals in the last two away UCL matches, scoring zero.
But can Barca come back? It’s going to be tougher than ever, but to do so two rounds in a row is something even Ethan Hunt couldn’t pull off.
I’ll argue that it is easier to come back from 4-0 down to PSG than 3-0 down to Juve. With Chiellini, Buffon and Leonardo Bonucci protecting the goal, Barca is going to need something more magical than the PSG comeback to get through.
