Ronaldo illuminated Portugal 3: 3 thrillers against Spain at the 2018 World Cup and scored all three goals of the Selecaoo in one breathtaking third place to compensate for late.
The then real Madrid star rolled the ball 3: 2 over the wall and into the upper corner. David de Gea was stranded-a familiar feeling for AA goalkeeper who faces one of the free clips of CR7.

Many of these goals make it into this list because Ronaldoās unique and superhuman ability can be seen, and this is certainly one that fits this category.
It is rarely to be seen that the header is a list of the biggest goals, but this is certainly worth this after increasing astonishing 2.56 meters in the air to rise almost a whole body over the defender of Sampdoria before he leads a header into the net.

In 2017-18 Ronaldo provided the most stunning moments of his career for Real Madrid against Juventus in the Champions League.
He jumped into the air and carried out a perfectly time -controlled overhead kick and sent the ball past the legendary Gianluigi Buffon to get a goal that was a perfect representation of his incomparable technical skills.
The goal was so extraordinary that managers Zinedine Zidane put it in an incredulous event, standing ovation from the opposing Juventus fans, a real proof of his brilliance.
