Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player to reach 100 goals in UEFA club competitions.

The 32-year-old Portuguese scored a brace for the Galacticos during Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

His first of night came just after half-time when he took a brilliant touch to turn home a low cross from Dani Carvajal, to cancel out Arturo Vidal’s opener for the Bundesliga leaders.

Prior to the goal, Ronaldo had endured 659 minutes without scoring in Champions League play.

The Portugal forward poked home a second in the 77th minute, using the bottom of his boot to slide the ball between Manuel Neuer’s legs for the game-winner.

‘Lai Running Out Of Lies’, Says Omokri On Buhari’s Absence At FEC
 
Says Omokri On Buhari’s Absence At FEC
OLU, Isaac
Ex-presidential aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has said no iota of truth can be found in the clarification made by Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, on why President Muhammadu Buhari was absent at Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
Pressurize 
Coercive   
According to Lai Mohammed, President Buhari did not attend the Federal Executive Council meeting because he was attending to “other issues”! If that is Lai’s best excuse, then he must really be running out of lies (or lais). It is better for the spokesman to a government not to give any excuse than give such a lame one. The most important meeting in Nigeria is the Federal Executive Council meeting. Leaving FEC to attend to other issues will be like a CEO leaving a board meeting to attend to visitors. Can such a business thrive? Of course not! No wonder Nigeria is in the shape she is. “Where there is no vision, the people perish”-Proverbs 29:18.
