# 4: The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning scissor kick goal drew a standing ovation from the Turin faithful

Real Madrid's all-time record scorer Cristiano Ronaldo leapt up acrobatically to score a stunning scissor kick goal past Gianluigi Buffon as the the two-time defending champions all but sealed the tie with a 3-0 first leg win in a quarter-final match of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League.

The brilliance of Ronaldo's goal drew a warm applause from Buffon himself as the Turin faithful provided a rare standing ovation to an opposition player. Few weeks later, after winning a record 5th Champions League title, Juventus acquired the services of the Portugal captain for €100 million which marked the highest transfer fee paid by an Italian club and the highest paid by any club for a player past his 30th birthday.
