Real Madrid ran riot on Tuesday night, sticking four goals past opponents Shakhtar in their opening Champions League group game.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet another hat-trick for the hosts after Karim Benzema had fired the Spanish giants into a first-half lead.

But the highlight of the night was probably Sergio Ramos' ludicrous face-first dive in the box, with Twitter as usual responding in hilarious fashion.

The summer Manchester United target became the brunt of a number of virals aimed at his spectacular tumble during the 4-0 win.

He may not win the Ballon d'Or this campaign but he's sure to be in with a shout of winning 'dive of the season.'

But the swan-dive backfired as he was soon substituted off after hurting his shoulder during the incident.

The defender won't want to see this incident again but it's unlikely the Twittersphere will let him forget anytime soon.
