Ramos salutes 'terrifying' Ronaldo after Juventus wondergoal in Champions League quarter-final

The Real Madrid skipper felt his team-mate fully deserved the applause he received from Juventus fans for his goal on Tuesday

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos admits Cristiano Ronaldo is showing frightening form and deserved the applause he received in the win over Juventus.

Ronaldo scored twice to help titleholders Madrid to a 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first-leg win in Turin, the second a bicycle kick that earned an ovation from the home fans at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is the first player to score in 10 consecutive matches in the competition, a run that stretches back to last season's 4-1 final win over Juve, and is now the leading goalscorer from Europe's top-five leagues, with 39 in all competitions.
