It was a well-taken penalty but Real still had half an hour plus penalties to win the game with a man's advantage against a Juventus side who were looking increasingly exhausted towards the end of the game. His efforts last week were far more impressive than anything he produced just there.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Ronaldo's the man 
Please take some humbling lets not start now.
It's a massive penalty and he absolutely nailed it.
Can only laugh 
about?Can only laugh
Poster said nothing about his performance except the pressure penalty he took.
One thing Ronaldo can't touch Messi on is celebrations. He's just trying way too hard and it's cringy.
That moment right there deserved an iconic celebration and he chose to flex. Come on.

True, but the point is one regularly steps up in the CL, the other hasn't for a long long time.If a Ronaldo-led Madrid had bottled it tonight you would have logged on to see about fifty notifications from this thread.
Isco was offside. Dribbling past players into a blind alley means nothing. I don't remember him creating any good clearcut chances for himself.
About your posts during the game? That deserves a compilation.Can only laugh
There are people here that seriously need help, no idea how the hell you can still watch football when the hate for Ronaldo is so big. It must be so sad to dislike Cristiano Ronaldo.
Hopefully by 2020 it still is the exact same way though
Indeed, this coming during his best ever year.
What does any of that have to do with what I said?
Wrong title, Ronaldo penalty was SAVED, not MISSED.
Which posts in particular?
Calling Ronaldo a diver? He is.
Saying Oliver would award a penalty to Real? He did.
Saying that if Juve had went through it wouldn't be Ronaldo's fault? It wouldn't have.
Saying Matuidi owned Modric? He did.
He also scored that game pink? or they would have not made it then. Penalty like the one he scored today Messi simply would not have scored it. Its not in him. You dont always have to protect Messi you know.
Are you a member of the Messi brigade?
It was actually saved by Cech’s helmet if you watch closely..
There IS a difference, though.
Never change Cal.
I like to get the facts right, unlike some of you.
Never change Cal.
2 days 2 similar situations but one difference. Real almost bottled it though.
Why is this suddenly proof of Ronaldo's greatness? He did nothing all game and scored a penalty he didn't even earn. I'd have thought it would only further his penaldo reputation.
Nope.Are you a member of the Messi brigade?
All of it reeks of hatred... I just don't understand how you can even enjoy football, unless you're a Barcelona fan. Then I'd understand your posts.
You're not alone though and it's better for it to be this way than the opposite anyway.
Ronaldo showing once again why he’s the best big game player in the world...the pressure on that penalty having had to wait as long as he did, just wow.
Sucks to see a veteran/legend such as Buffon lose his cool and exit like that in his final CL. As for the penalty call, clear penalty. Madrid player had a grade-A chance to end it and got taken down. Easy chest-to-foot shot/goal it would’ve been. Not that the foul was malicious or overpowering or anything but nonetheless stopped what would have been a sure goal in all likelihood as the Madrid player had all the space in the world to connect the ball.
Then again, 3 Buffons wouldn’t have stopped that penalty anyways.

Messi fans this is getting ridiculous now. He isn't on another planet to Ronaldo at all. This guy just got his team through yet another tough CL match. It is starting to show in terms of trophies now. Ronaldo will be the greatest of this era if he wins 3 CL's back to back, along with all the other things he has done. And there's Messi fans that think he isn't even comparable? Ridiculous.
If anyone in this thread seriously try to label that penalty as " easy" or " penaldo" or whatever simply should not watch football. lets give credit where it is due.
Created the most important chance of the match in dying minutes which ultimately decided the tie.
I get that plenty wanted Real to be knocked out but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a pen. He’s had far better games in CL than tonight but despite Real playing like garbage he produces just enough to get them through. Don’t get why it’s so difficult for few to acknowledge that.
That it took balls. It was a superb penalty but the game was far from done and he'd have had a decent chance of rectifying any mistake in extra-time. In the grand scale of what he's achieved I don't think it was particularly remarkable.
I'm not sure how any United fan who watched the penalty shootout in 2008 can say this.
If you don't think that it took an enormous level of nerve to take that penalty in that way then there's just no reasoning with you.
How can you say penaldo when Messi cant even score penalties to save his life. Don't be ignorant. Anyone who knows anything about football and has played the sport knows how hard a penalty is. Especially in those circumstances. Anything to put down Ronaldo honestly unbearable fans.
I'm just pointing out how much bollocks is being spouted. If Cal wants to post Messi missing a penalty as an example of how much of a bottler he is in comparison to Ronaldo scoring one he sure as feck better expect Ronaldo's CL final miss to get posted too.
It takes nerve, of course, not disputing that...just pointing out that you'd (reasonably) expect any top player to score it barring a phenomenal save.
I mean, the chances of scoring are still above 50% right? It's hardly a feat only a select few can achieve. He's a good penalty taker but to suggest this somehow elevates him above all else is laughable.
Messi has missed far more then Ronaldo. Please don't start. Messi is known for not being that great of a penalty taker. Im not even trying to argue either.
So you're not disputing the single thing I said, you just felt like ranting on about a load of other stuff.
The penalty took balls. Glad you agree.
