Aaron Ramsey has blamed ‘instinct’ for tapping in Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick in Juventus’ 2-1 win over Lokomotiv Moscow.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ronaldo thought he had opened the scoring against Lokomotiv on Wednesday night when his free-kick squirmed through the legs of goalkeeper Guilherme.<\/p>\n

Had the free-kick gone in, Ronaldo would have broken the record for scoring against the most teams in the Champions League. Ramsey, however, had different ideas.<\/p>\n

Why did Ramsey ‘steal’ Ronaldo’s goal? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Juventus beat Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1 on Wednesday to secure qualification to the Champions League knockout stages.<\/li>\n
  • Aaron Ramsey gave Juventus the lead after just three minutes capitalising on a goalkeeping error.<\/li>\n
  • Lokomotiv stop-stopper Guilherme allowed Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick to go through his legs with Ramsey helping the ball over the line.<\/li>\n
  • The Welshman had been accused of stealing what would have been a record-breaking goal for Ronaldo.<\/li>\n
  • But Ramsey admitted instinct took over, with fears the shot would be cleared, apologising to Ronaldo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
