Was there ever any doubt about the goal you were going to see at the top of this list?

A goal that Ronaldo had been trying to score for several years and had many unsuccessful attempts. A goal that came against tough opposition, on the biggest stage. A goal that made the manager scratch his head out of shock. A goal that proved to be the difference at the end of the tie. And above all, a goal which made the audience stand and applaud for the legend, who was jeered by the same audience minutes before the goal.

This goal was a perfect blend of technical quality, athleticism, and sheer determination. It was Ronaldo’s determination to do the impossible which made him attempt the overhead kick in the first place and get his right foot up to a height of 2.38m, which was almost at the height of the crossbar.

This goal won over every Juventus fan in the stadium, but it also won over many fans around the world. This goal is a symbol of perfection and will power, and talks about the importance of never giving up, despite facing failure a lot of times. For me, this is not just the best goal of his Real Madrid career, but also his whole footballing career.
