In case you didn’t know… The Bianconeri progressed to the last eight fixtures of Europe’s elite competition after Ronaldo, who promised a qualification prior to the game, scored a phenomenal hat-trick to overturn their two-goal deficit against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Round of 16 fixture. The Serie A giants have been drawn to face Ajax, who also overturned their first-leg deficit against Real Madrid, in the next stage of the competition....

The Chinese Super League has emerged as a possible destination for Ronaldo after former Brazil and Portugal head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari revealed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner had often asked about China. Ronaldo – who has scored 37 goals in 35 matches across all competitions for Madrid this season – is contracted until mid-2021 and Perez dismissed speculation that the 33-year-old superstar could depart the Santiago Bernabeu. “He hasn’t asked us to leave, he has a contract for another year but when the results are not great…”...

Indirectly at least. Moise Kean, a 19-year-old reserve forward at Juventus, has gotten the chance to observe Ronaldo up close on a daily basis. “I can only learn from him. It happens every day,” Kean said after scoring Italy’s second goal in a 2-0 win over Finland on Saturday to open the Azzurri’s European Championship qualifying campaign. Kean became the youngest striker to start for Italy in more than a century and the youngest scorer for the Azzurri in more than half a century, second only to Bruno Nicole in 1958 and one spot ahead of Italy great Gianni Rivera....

The Real Madrid great’s eldest child Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., nicknamed Cristianinho, looks to have inherited the family knack for scoring stunners judging by his brilliant top-corner effort in a post-match kickabout on Thursday. He received some of the biggest cheers of the night from the Estadio da Luz crowd, who earlier saw World Cup-bound Portugal ease to a 3-0 friendly win over Algeria. Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo senior went scoreless in his 150th international appearance, so the emergence of a new challenger – family or otherwise – might come as handy motivation on the eve of the World Cup....

Ronaldo’s 40 goals in all competitions have helped Madrid to their first LaLiga title since 2012, while the European titleholders are a win away from back-to-back Champions League crowns. Pirlo praises Juve great Buffon Madrid’s all-time leading scorer, however, has still been targeted by boo-boys at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. And the four-time Ballon d’Or winner is fed up with the treatment he has received from his own fans as he talked up his love for former club United, where he spent six years before joining Madrid in 2009, though he has no plans to leave the Spanish capital....

2016 belongs to World Champions Real Madrid The Japanese side took a shock lead as Gaku Shibasaki’s double made it 2-1 to Kashima after Karim Benzema’s early goal head put Madrid ahead. Ronaldo’s penalty forced extra time, and he duly spared Madrid’s blushes in the extra 30 minutes to wrap up a third trophy of the year for Zinedine Zidane’s men. The Portuguese’s performance came at the end of a week in which he won the Ballon d’Or, receiving that honour for the fourth time....

Ronaldo hat-trick gives Madrid memorable derby win And it proved to be a fight, as always. Atletico’s impressive intensity means Real is often second best in this fixture, with Simeone’s superb tactics making life even more challenging.

Now, she says, maybe Satan will stop bothering her. With cameras clicking, McCorvey, known to most as the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade, was baptized by Flip Ben-ham, the flamboyant national director of Operation Rescue, the militant anti-abortion group.
