Ronaldo beats Messi to score 70 Champions League goals

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 70th Champions League goal and Mario Balotelli again failed to deliver as Real Madrid cruised to a 3-0 win at Liverpool on Wednesday to take complete control of Group B with a third straight win.

He is one ahead of great rival Lionel Messi, who scored one and made one in Barcelona's 3-1 win against Ajax on Tuesday, before being taken off to rest him ahead of Saturday's massive game against Ronaldo's Madrid.
