Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo marked off a sensational return at Camp Nou after two years, netting a brace to help his side claim the top spot in the Champions League standings. His arch-rival Lionel Messi failed to have a wider impact on the game as he struggled to squirm past the Juventus defence. Following the splendid victory, Ronaldo's sister Elma Aveiro went on to troll the Argentina international, with whom the Portuguese forward has competed for major accolades in the past 14 years.

Ronald bagged the opener from the spot in the 13th minute after being brought down inside the penalty box by Ronald Araujo. Youngster Weston McKennie, who is on a season-long loan from Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04, doubled the lead seven minutes later, netting past the post from a splendid bicycle kick.

Besides, Ronaldo bagged his second goal of the night after Clement Lenglet was caught committing a handball, with the 35-year-old sending Marc-Andre ter Stegen the wrong way for the second time in the game. The defeat saw Juventus claim the top spot in the Group G Champions League standings.
