It was a night to remember at Juventus Stadium but not for the home team. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to cap off a remarkable night for Real Madrid, setting some personal benchmarks as well.

That overhead bicycle kick scorcher was Ronaldo’s second goal of the night. With his first (within three minutes after the start), the Portuguese became the first one to score in ten straight Champions League games. But the second was the best one of the night, perhaps even the best one of this year.
This is how Zidane reacted to the goal:

Peter Crouch did not try to hide his awe.

And neither did John Dykes.
My first reaction to that @Cristiano goal was one of awe at the athleticism and technique required. His skill set is so totally different from that intuitive dribbling genius of Messi (or Maradona) and that’s why I never bother with the Ronaldo or Messi argument. Just enjoy!

“If an artist created the perfect footballer, it would be Lionel Messi. If an engineer created the perfect footballer, it would be Cristiano Ronaldo.

We are so lucky to live in this era.”
Big match player - done it for clubs, done it for country - done it at home, done it away. Always stands up and gets counted on big occasions - the greatest footballer of all time @Cristiano Ronaldo.

I need no other argument, @Cristiano Ronaldo if traced properly is the biological son of Zeus. Zeus gave him extraordinary power to be great in football. His form of play can hardly be compare decades to come. Ronaldo is a divine hero. No doubt he is the Hercules in Football.
