20 most important goals in Cristiano Ronaldo's career

#8 The goal to rescue Portugal against Hungary in the Euro 2016 group stage

While everyone was watching, Ronaldo was thinking two steps ahead

It's unreal that Portugal won the European Championships in 2016 when they barely got out of their group. Cristiano Ronaldo would score twice in the game to equalise and take the third spot in the group against Hungary to progress into the next round after which there was no stopping them.

Here's the dilemma though, the sheer audacity of his flicked goal was a sight to behold. Under plenty fo pressure to deliver or crash out, Ronaldo ran into the box to receive a cross from Joao Mario. The defender had tracked his run and was prepared for him to control and shoot deep in the box, but the Portuguese forward ran past the ball, reached out with his right foot and flicked the ball into the net behind his back.

It'll remain a lasting memory for anyone who witnessed it for the sheer nerve to pull it off in a crunch game.

The more important goal, though, was his second and Portugal's third that got them the all-important point. Amore conventional goal and good in its own right, but not a spectacle like the first.
