The Portuguese forward put his team on the verge of their third final in four years and took his tally to 103 goals in the competition as he helped Los Blancos vanquish their city rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday. Ronaldo headed home in the 10th minute after Casemiro’s bouncing cross caught out Atletico’s defence, as Zinedine Zidane’s men dominated the first half. Karim Benzema set him up to smash home his second on the half-volley in the 73rd minute. Taking advantage of Atletico’s shallow resistance, Ronaldo netted his third from close range with just minutes to the final whistle and took his tally to 10 goals this season from 11 matches, eight of those coming from the last three games.
