Ronaldo's hat-trick makes him 1st to hit 100 Champions League goals
Cristiano Ronaldo can't be stopped.
Real Madrid's megastar became the first player in Champions League history to reach the 100-goal mark, scoring twice in extra time of a thrilling quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday to complete his hat-trick, and hit the incredible tally.

His second goal on the night was clearly offside - though it was allowed to stand - and his third strike, the product of some brilliant work from teammate Marcelo, looked to be inches off as well.
Not that he'll care, of course.
Real Madrid, once again, is heading to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and once again, Ronaldo has played an integral role.
