While Juventus needed a Champions League Miracle in the 16th circular for a moment in the consecutive season, Cristiano Ronaldo did what he could to try to make sure juve would fall short.
Juventus entered the round leg against Lyon on Friday, and had to recover from a 1-0 defeat in the first leg five months ago. The Memphis Depay penalty gave Lyon a away goal, forcing Juventus to score 3 goals in case they were eliminated, the same scenario they faced last season against Atletico Madrid when Ronaldo’s hat trick sent to Juve.
Ronaldo walks back in the 43rd minute by converting a penalty.
He then brought the point of Juventus in general, but still behind in the tiebreaker, in the 60th minute sensationally. He covered a 25-yard shot with his left foot and slid him to the pole, putting him 2-1 at Juventus that day and 2-2 on aggregate with the 130th record in the Champions League of his career.
It is almost done with the third in the 76th minute, overtaking from a corner over the bar.
However, it is not possible that Juventus will not be able to locate that third goal and come out in that tiebreaker. Lyon qualified for the quarter-finals in Portugal, where they will face Manchester City, a 4–2 global winner against Real Madrid.
