After a somewhat subdued first leg and hour of the second, he finally got back among the headlines with a ruthless penalty kick to put his side back in front in the tie.

And in doing so, he hit a rather significant landmark for the campaign which nobody else on the continent has matched.

It also continues his very impressive record when it comes to away trips across Europe in the continent’s premier club competition – putting him among elite company (and he has since moved on to 15 with his scruffy late second).
