In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final match, Cristiano Ronaldo, the leader of Madrid's "Real" team, became a hero for the fans.
At the end of the match, the 33-year-old Portuguese accurately converted a penalty kick and secured the royal club's spot in the tournament's semi-finals.
After the game, the veteran was amazed by the stormy reaction of the "Juventus" players to referee Michael Oliver's decision to award a penalty kick.
"I don't understand why they protested, but that's football. If the Italians hadn't committed a foul, Lucas would have scored a goal.
"We are happy to have reached the semi-finals," said C. Ronaldo.
Before the decisive strike in the 4-3 winning series, the striker had to withstand immense pressure.
"I had to calm down. It was a decisive goal and, thank God, I scored," said the Portuguese.
