Ronaldo Wins Uefa Champions League Goal Of The Week

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo’s superb strike against Liverpool has been named the UEFA Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan, for Matchday Three. The Portuguese forward ran on to James Rodriguez’s deftly chipped pass and lifted a brilliant first-time shot over Simon Mignolet to put the competition holders ahead at Anfield.

Ronaldo is in sensational form and has now scored 70 UEFA Champions League goals, trailing all-time top goalscorer Raul by just one.


Carlo Ancelotti’s team went on to record an impressive 3-0 victory over Liverpool, with Karim Benzema scoring twice to put Madrid in pole position in Group B.

Brendan Rodgers’ Reds are level on three points with Basel and Ludogorets ahead of their trip to the Spanish capital for the reverse fixture on Tuesday of Matchday Four.
