Juventus, as a club, have scored 21 in quarter-finals.
By scoring in his 10th consecutive match of the tournament, he has broken yet another record.
At half-time Rio Ferdinand said: “He’s actually taking liberties, he’s playing against one of the most experienced back fours, and he’s still finding space. It’s striker’s movement.”
“The difference is, he goes into these big games expecting to score – not hoping to score.”
