Cristiano Ronaldo added to his legend on Tuesday, striking a magnificent bicycle kick to give Real Madrid a 2-0 lead in the first leg of its Champions League quarterfinal matchup with Juventus.

It was his second goal of the day, and the 33-year-old assisted on another in an eventual 3-0 victory.

He tried to downplay his performance after the match, calling it “fantastic” before insisting he “speak about the game.”

Here’s a view from someone inside Juventus Stadium, where you can even hear the home fans cheer in appreciation.
