April 3, 2018 will go down in history as the day Real Madrid conquered Juventus Stadium, and they will have good reasons to look back to this date and smile.
The game between Los Blancos and the Bianconeri side was tough, but a stellar performance by Cristiano Ronaldo and a great collective effort by all the players led to a massive away win, and there will be some stats that will go down in history after this game.
First off, Cristiano Ronaldo. The man of the match thanks to his brace and an assist to Marcelo, reached a couple of milestones during tonight's clash. The Portuguese ace became the first player in UEFA Champions League history to score in ten straight games, and also equalled a milestone previously owned by a former team-mate.

Beating Juventus at their stadium isn't easy, and tonight's game saw them concede the biggest amount of goals by Buffon & Co. in a single match.

Next up, Dani Carvajal. The man behind CR7's overhead kick also set a record in the continental competition, previously owned by Nani and Patrice Evra.

Zinedine Zidane's record as Real Madrid's boss is quite impressive, and he will surely be happy to celebrate tonight's win against his former team.

But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Real Madrid, as there had to be one little blip in their victory against the Old Lady. Sergio Ramos was booked by the Turkish ref after tackling Paulo Dybala minutes before CR7's golazo, and he set one impressive but embarrassing milestone.
