Juventus – April 2018

During Ronaldo’s final season at Real Madrid, a Champions League quarter-final first leg took him to Turin to face Juventus. Scoring within the opening three minutes set the tone, but his second goal of the night—a sensational overhead kick—left everyone in awe, including the Juventus fans who gave him a standing ovation and a stunned Zinedine Zidane. 

“It was spectacular, I jumped very high and it’s a goal that will live long in the memory,” Ronaldo said after the game. 

Porto – April 2009

Ronaldo faced a hostile reception in his homeland of Portugal, facing FC Porto with Manchester United. But in the sixth minute, from midfield, he unleashed a strike that soared at 64.2mph into the net, silencing the crowd instantly. 

This goal was not just a display of his skill but a powerful statement that soon after led FIFA to create the Puskas Award, with Ronaldo’s goal against Porto winning the inaugural honor. It was a shot heard around the world, encapsulating his flair for dramatic, game-changing plays.

Portsmouth – January 2008

At Manchester United, Ronaldo scored many memorable goals, but one free-kick against Portsmouth stands out distinctly. Striking a knuckleball that danced past the wall and dipped into the top corner, Ronaldo left goalkeeper David James motionless, a spectator in his own nightmare. 

Sir Alex Ferguson, awed by the strike, placed it among the greatest he’d ever witnessed, comparing Ronaldo’s prowess to that of past United legends. This goal against Portsmouth remains a high watermark for free-kick excellence.

Osasuna – March 2012

In a season where he clinched his first La Liga title with Real Madrid, scoring 45 goals, his performance against Osasuna included what many consider his best in the Spanish league. 

Receiving the ball in Osasuna’s half, Ronaldo charged forward, unleashing a ferocious 35-yard strike that left the goalkeeper grasping at thin air. The goal wasn’t just a demonstration of raw power; it was a strategic masterpiece, exploiting the defenders’ hesitation to devastating effect.

Barcelona – August 2017

In the heat of an El Clasico, Ronaldo’s prowess was on full display during the Spanish Super Cup at Camp Nou. Coming on as a substitute, he quickly made his presence felt, restoring Madrid’s lead with a stunning 20-yard strike. 

This wasn’t just another goal; it was a statement in one of football’s fiercest rivalries, capped off by mimicking Lionel Messi’s iconic shirt-holding celebration—a bold taunt in the lion’s den.
