Death. Taxes. Cristiano Ronaldo scoring lots of goals in the Champions League knock-out stages.
A week on from watching his former teammates at Real Madrid crash out to Ajax, Cristiano Ronaldo inspired Juventus to a miraculous turnaround in their Champions League last 16 tie against Atletico Madrid.
Trailing 2-0 from the first leg in the Spanish capital, Ronaldo scored all three Juve goals in Turin on Tuesday night, enough for the Italian champions to progress with a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Footage of the Argentine grabbing his crotch in celebration was widely circulated in the days after the game at the Wanda Metropolitano last month - a gesture some felt Ronaldo was poking fun of in the footage below.
