Ronaldo Makes English History By Scoring in Fifth Straight UCL Match

On Tuesday at Villarreal, Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League goal streak continued, and as a result, Manchester United's Champions League dream carried on with a spot in the knockout stages.

For the fifth straight Champions League game, Ronaldo scored to give him six goals in five games in the competition. Meanwhile, the forward has shown his penchant for clutch moments, scoring in the 75th minute or later in the club's last four UCL games.

Tied in a scoreless slog against a Villarreal team that defeated United in the Europa League final last season, Ronaldo stepped to the forefront with his 78th-minute goal.
