CR7 Dashes Galatasaray's Semifinal Dreams

What a spectacular show of football it was tonight at Turk Telekom Arena!  Los Blancos played their 2^nd leg against Galatasaray in an away match to a 3-2 loss.  In spite of the loss, the men pull through thanks to the aggregate... and Cristiano Ronaldo.  The Portuguese all-star scored both of Madrid's goals tonight, most notably at the very last second, dashing the home team's dreams of Champions League semifinals.

3 Forwards, 3 Goals, and a 3-0 victory over Galatasary

Los Blancos played against Galatasaray last night to a Champions League showdown, claiming a 3-0 victory over their opponents by way of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gonzalo Higuain.  With his goal, Cristiano sits pretty on top as the top goal-scorer in the competition this season.  The victory of Galatasary brings Real Madrid one step closer to their third consecutive UCL semifinal.  The Bernabéu was alive with fire, the home crowd roaring with song and pride for the men in white.  The crowd itself proved crucial, serving as motivation for the players, aware that their spectators have not seen them lose for 14 months.  It would have been a let down all around to see them fail at home.
