As at the time of this writing, Ronaldo was number one trending item on Twitter Nigeria as conversations about his incredible performance of the night dominated the social media platform. 
The Champions League dominated top 10 trends on Twitter Nigeria. 
Surprising, Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-term rival Lionel Messi was also among the trending item even though he was not going to be in action until 24 hours later. 
As both Ronaldo and Messi have dominated world football in the past decade, a conversation about one of them always ends up with the other being mentioned. 
That happened on Twitter again on Tuesday night as fans started to compare them again. 
‘Ororo’ which Ronaldo is wildly called also made the trends.
