#6. The overhead kick against Juventus

Ronaldo has scored 107 goals for Real Madrid and 120 overall in the Champions League. Some were insignificant. Some ordinary, some average, some nice, some decisive, some breathtaking, some impossible and then one like his 119th goal. The goal in Turin in the quarter-finals against Gianluigi Buffon and Juventus. It was perhaps CR7's greatest ever in the competition: an overhead kick from just inside the penalty area.

Ronaldo had been looking for a bicycle kick goal during his whole career and nobody expected it would take this long to arrive. He was nearly two metres off the ground and thundered in a powerful cross on a Madrid counter with a truly outrageous acrobatic effort.

Ronaldo had put his side up by three goals. He wheeled away in celebration to the corner of the stadium where he was being jeered. However, the Juventus fans rose to their feet and applauded the rival player out of respect for his sporting brilliance. Cristiano reacted graciously by holding his hands up, and gesturing to the home faithfuls.
