🎥 Cristiano Ronaldo made Atlético suffer once again on this day in 2017

Throughout his incredible career, no side suffered more at Cristiano Ronaldo’s feet and head than Atlético de Madrid. 

He scored a staggering 25 goals against Real’s city rivals, preventing Diego Simeone’s side from winning multiple Champions League titles. 

On this day in 2017, he did exactly that with a stunning hat-trick at the Bernabéu. 

The Portuguese legend showed off the full repertoire of his incredible finishing ability, planting three brilliant efforts past a helpless Jan Oblak. 

The goals all but ended the clubs’ Champions League semi-final tie as Real marched on to the second title of their three-in-a-row success. 

The season was arguably the absolute peak of Ronaldo’s powers as he also scored five against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and two against Juventus in the final. 

Ronaldo would join Juve in 2018 and knock  Atlético again in his debut season with, you guessed it, a hat-trick. 

There’s a reason – or several – for his status as the best player in Champions League history.
