Cristiano Ronaldo admitted he felt &ldquo;sad&rdquo; after his goal ended former club Manchester United&rsquo;s involvement in the Champions League and put Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. The Portuguese forward struck a 69th-minute winner at Old Trafford as Madrid fought from behind to earn a 2-1 win on the night and a 3-2 aggregate victory. The 28-year-old, who spent six highly successful seasons at United, received a round of applause prior to kick-off and made a point of not celebrating his winning goal. &ldquo;The reception was unbelievable. It was an emotional moment for me, for both games, especially tonight,&rdquo; he told Sky Sports. &ldquo;I do not have words to explain how I feel. The supporters made me feel shy as I did not play how I play all the time. &ldquo;Anyway I helped my team, and I feel a little happy inside. On the other hand I feel sad as Manchester United are out,&rdquo; he added. The game&rsquo;s turning point arrived in the 56th minute, when Ronaldo&rsquo;s international colleague Nani was contentiously shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa. &ldquo;To be honest, I did not see what Nani did, but these situations happen in football,&rdquo; Ronaldo said.
