Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is on the brink of equalling another Champions League record on Tuesday night.

Ronaldo scored a double against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, helping United in the Premier League to gain a 4-1 victory.

Attention now turns to the Champions League with the 36-year-old expected to make his second appearance for United in the space of three days.

If the Portuguese superstar featured against Young Boys, it would match the all-time record of 177 competitions of Iker Casillas.
