Real Madrid sealed that title in a 3-0 win against Athletic Bilbao, in which Ronaldo was almost inevitably on the scoresheet. Yet, this was undoubtedly the moment of the season and an iconic few seconds that will always be associated with the Portuguese superstar.

Real Madrid had gone ahead early in the tie but had just conceded to Barcelona, who it seemed were growing into the game. Just as the tide seemed to be turning in favour of the Catalan club at Camp Nou, Ronaldo latched on to Mesut Ozil's pass and finished the move in typical fashion. His celebration was what would immortalise the importance of this goal as he went on to tell the Barcelona faithful, "Calma, calma que estoy aqui", meaning "Calm down, I am here".

This goal signified the breaking of Pep Guardiola's hegemonic Barcelona and it would just about clinch Ronaldo's first La Liga title.
