Two-and-a-half years ago, Juventus bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid for $117 million in order to get the Italian side over the line in Champions League. On Tuesday, Juventus was eliminated from the round of 16 for the second straight year in a hectic finish for the ages.
It was another Portuguese midfielder who proved to be the star of Tuesday's extra-time thriller between Porto and Juventus as Sérgio Oliveira scored two goals to see Porto through. Entering the match leading 2-1, Porto lost 3-2 on Tuesday in Turin but advanced in the end thanks to an early penalty from Oliveira and his stunning free-kick in the 115th minute.
