A Bernabeu homage for Cristiano Ronaldo LaLiga - Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid After the ovation of Juventus Stadium

Derbies against Atletico are always special, but on this occasion, Cristiano Ronaldo will get his own tribute from Real Madrid's supporters who will pack the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to the rafters.

Last Tuesday night, at about 10pm CET, Ronaldo rose majestically in the Turin sky and nailed a historic goal.

"Possibly it was the best of my career," confessed the Portuguese, happy both for the goal and the warm recognition he received from the Juventina.

After a second of silence and amazement, the 40,000 spectators who filled the stands of Juventus Stadium gave a standing ovation to the Madrid star, who appreciated the gesture.

"I will keep it forever in my heart," he said.

The Bernabeu will rise

When Ronaldo comes out onto the pitch on Sunday, he will feel the love of his home support.

His relationship with the Bernabeu has had its ups and downs, but he will be honoured by the stadium whose walls have seen most of his 446 goals for Los Blancos; an amount that the Portuguese striker hopes to increase in the match against Atleti.

Once the decision was made not to rotate against the Rojiblancos, despite the closeness of the return match against Juve, one of Ronaldo's goals in the final stretch of the season became alive again; to challenge Leo Messi for the Pichichi.

The Blaugrana leads the Real Madrid star by four goals (26 to 22), but the form of the No.7 allows him to dream.
