Down 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg, Real Madrid was looking for just one thing -- a goal in Germany. And it got just that thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar scored early in the second half to give Real a vital away goal. It was a lovely touch to send the ball past Manuel Neuer and silence the Allianz Arena. Take a look:

What a fantastic goal. Ronaldo reads it right, floats into a pocket of space and delivers. And with that, it's 96 goals for Ronaldo in the Champions League, still the most all time. And it was a vital away goal for Real, just what it was looking for. But he wasn't done there.
Real went on to win the match 2-1, with Ronaldo scoring the winner.
