Real Madrid cruised past Dortmund in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League this Wednesday. The Merengue club established a commanding 3-0 lead by the 70th minute, with the third goal marking a significant milestone.
Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 14th goal in the competition this season, achieved in just 8 matches. This not only solidifies his position as the top scorer in the tournament this season but also sets a new record for goals scored in a single Champions League season. Previously held by Van Nistelrooy, Altafini, and Messi, Ronaldo now claims this prestigious record.
Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo equaled Alberto Di Stefano’s record as Real Madrid’s top scorer in the European Cup, with both players boasting 49 goals.
