Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, has had us all on our feet at some point in his career.
Sir Alex Ferguson saw something in a very young Ronaldo all the way back in 2003 when he signed the wonder kid from Sporting Lisbon.
Ronaldo would go on and become one of the best to have ever played in the English Premier League.
2009 saw Ronaldo become the most expensive footballer on the planet when the Spanish giants Real Madrid got their man for £80 million.
When you look back at his Madrid career, £80 million now sounds like a bargain of a deal in this modern era of the beautiful game.
This week's big news of Ronaldo being highly linked to Juventus could see the five-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner take on a new challenge after nearly 10 years in Spanish football.
While those reports come in, the excuse of looking back at Ronaldo's fine selection of scintillating goals could not be at a better time.
So let's sit back and enjoy five classic goals from Mr CR7, enjoy!
#5 Ronaldo v Marseille - 2009
When you think of an athlete like Cristiano Ronaldo, he just makes it look so easy when he does his thing on the pitch for club and country.
The summer of 2009 hosted the biggest signing - at the time - in the history of football. One of the best players to ever wear a Manchester United shirt signed a dream contract to join Real Madrid.
A nice pay cheque of around £80 million went in United's direction and Ronaldo didn't hang about in his first season in Spain.
32 goals scored in 40 appearances from the magician himself in his debut season for the Galacticos.
And one of those 32 goals was an incredible long distance free kick against French side Marseille in the UEFA Champions League.
The way that ball moves, you've just got to watch it again and again.
#4 Ronaldo v Spain - 2018
This goal is not even a month old and will no doubt be shortlisted as one of the goals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
At a moment in a match where the time was ticking against the European champions Portugal and still needed a goal to avoid defeat from their neighbours Spain.
Nacho's perfectly placed volley put Spain into the lead and looked to be the winning goal of the group stage match.
But what happens when a free kick is in range of goal? A certain Mr Ronaldo relishes the challenge.
In an attempt to secure his first ever hat-trick at a World Cup stage, Ronaldo struck a free kick that not even David De Gea can keep out.
It may not win goal of the tournament but it will surely be remembered for years to come.
#3 Ronaldo v FC Porto - 2009
Many Manchester United fans will never forget the days of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the famous Manchester red shirt throughout his six-year spell at the English football club.
His career at United is where it all kicked off for the Portuguese striker.
Especially in his last couple of seasons at Old Trafford where he would play a big part of helping United win their third ever European Cup in 2008.
Sadly Ronaldo's last ever game in a United shirt was losing out to Lionel Messi's Barcelona in Rome in the 2009 Champions League final.
In United's path to the 2009 final, United would travel to Ronaldo's homeland to face FC Porto.
After the first leg in Manchester, the scoreline was 2-2 with FC Porto taking the lead on away goals.
All Fergie's men had to do was score one goal and not concede throughout the 90 minutes.
And they did just that thanks to Mr Ronaldo!
#2 Ronaldo v Portsmouth - 2008
Manchester United's 2007/08 campaign was one of the best seasons in the club's history.
They won the Premier League before being crowned kings of Europe in Moscow after holding their nerves against their rivals Chelsea in a gutsy penalty shootout.
This was the season where we saw Ronaldo really come out of his shell to display the elements of a world-class player and beyond.
And one of those glimpses of what we would expect from a future Ronaldo was his performance against Portsmouth in the Premier League.
A brace by the man himself secured another win for the red devils to take a step closer towards another Premier League title.
But the one goal fans still chit chat about to this very day was the free kick against David James and his wall of defenders left for dead.
The free kick is beyond words, so just watch it instead.
#1 Ronaldo v Juventus - 2018
It is arguably Cristiano Ronaldo's best goal to date!
Last season saw Real Madrid win a third consecutive UEFA Champions League title after overcoming Liverpool in Kiev.
As well as conquering Europe yet again, one of the biggest moments in Madrid 2017/18 campaign was Ronaldo's over head kick against Juventus.
In a fixture that saw a repeat of the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff, Juventus failed to complete revenge mission against the Galacticos.
The Italians were thrashed at home 0-3 in the first leg but won the second tie but it was not enough to stop the kings of Europe.
The whole stadium including Juventus fans stood up and applauded the exhilarating goal!
For the fans who were there that night it was a 'I was there' moment.
