Insatiable Ronaldo hits a century

Munich, Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 100th European goal to give holders Real Madrid a 2-1 comeback win at 10-man Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg match.
“I wanted to reach this record. To be able to reach this mark is an honour and against a team like Bayern it is even better,” Ronaldo, who scored both the goals, said.
Arturo Vidal headed Bayern into a first-half lead yesterday, but then skied a penalty attempt on the stroke of halftime before Ronaldo volleyed the defending champions’ level.
Bayern played the last half an hour a man down after centre-back Javi Martinez was sent off for two fouls on Ronaldo within three minutes of each other.
Four-time world player of the year Ronaldo then slotted in the winner between goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s legs for the winner 13 minutes from time. “We believe we can still do it, we were the better team in the first half, could have made it 2-0 or 3-0,” Neuer said.
But Bayern were outplayed in the second half and most of Real’s 23 shots on goal came after the break.
“We had everything under control in the first half, but didn’t use the room consistently,” said captain Philipp Lahm. “The tipping point was the red card.”
Griezmann gives Atletico slender lead vs Leicester
Madrid: Antoine Griezmann’s penalty handed Atletico Madrid a slender 1-0 advantage over Leicester City in the first leg of their quarterfinal. In a game of very few chances, Griezmann proved decisive as it was he who also won the penalty with a lung-busting run from well inside his own half before being brought down by Marc Albrighton midway through the first half yesterday.
The French international put his previous penalty demons behind him to convert from the spot and put Atletico in the driving seat for a third semifinal in four seasons.
