Cristiano ronaldo free kick

Goal 👍

The way Cristiano Ronaldo perfected his trademark free kick, hitting through with the laces, is a prime example of innovation in sport.

Real Madrid 7 Malaga 0 in March 2011 at the Bernabeu Stadio. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 2nd goal from the penalty spot on 68 minutes to make it 6-0 in La Liga.

ESPN UK on Instagram: "Cristiano Ronaldo is still the last player to score a free-kick for Man United 🎯"

And with three more goals against Atletico - taking his total to 41 this season, with double figures in the Champions League yet again - Ronaldo hit another milestone, or so he thought.
