Tucked away: Ronaldo (right) broke the record of 14 set by Lionel Messi with a brace vs Bayern on Tuesday
Cristiano Ronaldo's got one over Lionel Messi again, as he broke another goalscoring feat set by the Argentine, to become the Champions League's highest marksman in a single season.
The Portuguese superstar scored twice in Real's 4-0 semi-final second-leg victory at Bayern Munich on Tuesday, to take his tally to 16 for the campaign.
The previous landmark was held by Ronaldo's adversary Lionel Messi - who scored 14 goals for Barcelona during the 2011-12 season.
Since his move to Madrid in 2009, the forward has scored a staggering 250 goals in 243 games for the club.
