COMMENTS: During the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a masterful individual performance for Real Madrid CF, finishing as the tournament's top scorer with 12 goals in 12 appearances. He spearheaded Madrid’s run through a brutal "Group of Death," which included a stunning late match-winner against Manchester City FC and a brilliant hat-trick away at AFC Ajax. The knockout stages brought an emotional, highly anticipated reunion in the Round of 16 against his former club, Manchester United FC, where Ronaldo proved to be the ultimate difference-maker. After scoring a towering, gravity-defying header in the first leg, he netted the decisive winner at Old Trafford to eliminate United. Though Ronaldo’s prolific form dragged José Mourinho's squad all the way to the semifinals, Real Madrid ultimately fell short of the final after a devastating aggregate defeat against Borussia Dortmund, ending an exceptional European campaign on a bittersweet note.
