Despite Juventus winning at home 2-1, scored by Ronaldo, he was eliminated from the final eighth round of the tournament, after applying the scoring rule outside the stadium, where Lyon won 1-0 in the first leg.
Ronaldo is the historic top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 130 goals, and he is the one who has scored the most goals in one edition with 17 goals.
