Ronaldo's start to the evening was pretty uneventful, sitting on the bench and watching his team take on Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Messi then levelled the score to 1-1 but it wasn't long before Ronaldo scored this classic, running from halfway.

Cutting inside to the edge of the box, he was unstoppable.

Barcelona's goalkeeper could only watch as Ronaldo's brilliant effort flew past him.

To celebrate, Ronaldo then took off his shirt and held it up. But he was booked for it and showed a yellow card.

Shortly after, he went down next to Barcelona's Samuel Umtiti. Ronaldo felt he should have been given a penalty but he was booked instead for diving.

That was his second yellow card of the match, so the referee got out his red card.

Ronaldo then started to argue with the ref and appeared to push him in the back.

But there was no going back and he was sent off. He has been given an automatic one-match suspension for being shown two yellow cards, with a further four-match ban for pushing the match official.
