Cristiano Ronaldo beats Atletico Madrid

Ronaldo was number one trending item on Twitter Nigeria as conversations about his incredible performance of the night dominated the social media platform.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the toast of Twitter after his hattrick completed a turnaround for Juventus as they came back from 2-0 down against Atletico Madrid to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 3-0 win in the second leg in Turin on Tuesday, March 12.

It was all Ronaldo as the 34-year-old scored two headers before completing his hat trick in the second half for Juventus to beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 on aggregate in the round of 16.

Twitter couldn’t get enough of the Juventus star as they feted him with tributes.

Scenes if Cristiano Ronaldo eventually wins the UCL topscorer after scoring just 1 goal in his first 7 games.

Number one trend

Juventus 3 Vs 0 Atletico Madrid: Twitter can’t get enough of Cristiano Ronaldo after another Champions League hat trick (Twitter)

Cristiano Ronaldo was the number trending item on Twitter Nigeria after his stunning performance on the night (Twitter)

As at the time of this writing, Ronaldo was number one trending item on Twitter Nigeria as conversations about his incredible performance of the night dominated the social media platform.

The Champions League dominated top 10 trends on Twitter Nigeria.

Surprising, Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-term rival Lionel Messi was also among the trending item even though he was not going to be in action until 24 hours later.

As both Ronaldo and Messi have dominated world football in the past decade, a conversation about one of them always ends up with the other being mentioned.

The day I started watching Messi play football, my whole life changed. I will never forget what my taxi driver in Barcelona told me. He said Ronaldo is good but Messi is everything!

I like Messi a lot but i have to say CR7 is the best player in the world today. Time and time again he has shown he's got it all. Pure class. #betwaysquad.

Always find it astonishing how many tweets you see talking about *the other* in the aftermath of Messi/Ronaldo games.

These are two legends who are 31 and 34 years old. Life is hard enough as it is, make it a little bit more enjoyable and enjoy these two kings man. pic.twitter.com/J8xqVGT8nV

Mad respect for Ronaldo, what a player, spectacular footballer, unreal athlete but on the level of Leo Messi?? Come on guys let’s not be silly. Messi is the greatest ever to kick a ball, no debate to be had.

Griezmann once said he seats on the same table as Messi and Cristiano. Tonight he sat alongside Drenthe and Arda Turan.
— Rafael Hernández (@RafaelH117) March 12, 2019

Tonight is not a night to bring up “Messi is still the GOAT.” This performance from Ronaldo doesn’t take away from Messi, it just adds to Ronaldo’s legacy & football’s.
— Alex Goldberg (@AlexGoldberg_) March 12, 2019

That happened on Twitter again on Tuesday night as fans started to compare them again.

‘Ororo’ which Ronaldo is wildly called also made the trends.
