Hat-trick Hero Ronaldo Gets Juve Over the Line

Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo was the spark plug for Juventus yesterday, inspiring them to a historic 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. After losing 2-0 in Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 tie, Juventus needed to overturn the scoreline to qualify for the quarter-finals. The 2019 UEFA Champions League final will be played at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid. Should Juve make it that far, they will have the advantage of having played there before. After yesterday's performance, oddsmakers have Juve and Ronaldo as favorites to win the Champions League this season.

Juve Through to the Quarter Finals of the Champions League

With the signing of previous Champions League winners Real Madrid's top scorer, Juventus were surely the favourites to win this season's competition. They couldn't have lost their quarterfinal match more convincingly than 2-0. The difference of a few yards on the pitch in that match was all that stood between Juve and a number at least equal to the one that would have made them winners of the tie and a place in this season's semifinals.
