CSKA Moscow 1 – Real Madrid 1 (Champions League last-16 1st leg, February 21, 2012) (Alternative highlights & Longer highlights.) The Muscovites defence was breached in the 28th minute as the Russian failed to deal with Coentrao’s left-wing cross, and Cristiano Ronaldo buried the loose ball for his 35th goal in 36 games this season. Jose Mourinho enjoyed Ronaldo’s goal with a double-fingered celebration on the touchline. Just as it looked like Real would close out the win, deep into stoppage time CSKA throw the kitchen sink at the Spaniards and debutant Pontus Wernbloom was able to slice home a volley for a dramatic equaliser.
