Adrien Rabiot's strike from inside the area had given the French champions the lead after 33 minutes, but Ronaldo's penalty levelled the match on the stroke of half time levelled for Los Blancos, before close range finished from Ronaldo and Marcelo in the final ten minutes put Real in control of the tie ahead of the second leg in three weeks time.

As well as pulling Real back into the tie, the goal also marked a personal milestone for Ronaldo himself, as it took the Ballon D'Or winner to a century of Champions League goals in the colours of Real Madrid, making him the first player to reach the landmark.
