5 Cristiano Ronaldo moments a fan can never forget. 

#3 Free Kick against Arsenal

When Ronaldo conjured magic at the Emirates Stadium..

"Too far for Ronaldo to think about it"

Those were the exact words of the commentator, as Ronaldo stepped back and stood at his iconic free kick position. The ball was around 40 yards out. A three-man wall was all that was needed for Arsenal to avoid conceding the goal, considering the distance between the ball and the goal.

United were leading, and needed a goal to seal a spot in the Champions League final. In the heat of the second leg of the semi final, the right-footed player stepped up and scored what probably was the best goal of his career.

The footballing prodigy was one of Premier League's most exciting players back then. He dribbled past players, leaped above them and always was a clinical at finishing. He had one more vital attribute though: he was a free kick specialist.

Cristiano's famous knuckle ball went on to become one of the greatest free kick goals in football history. Beckham could curve the ball, but what Ronaldo did was close to impossible. There were studies and analysis done all over the planet, to figure out the science behind his miraculous strike. His kick caused the ball to change direction more than once and then made it dip out of nowhere!

One such knuckle ball came in the 21st minute at the Emirates, against Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. The kick was so strong and so accurate that there was nothing the keeper could do about it. He had to move six yards, the ball had to move 40. Guess what, the ball won!

The commentator was forced to eat his words on international television. It's like the winger had heard him and scored that goal to tell him never to underestimate him again!

He was a free kick genius. No distance was too far. No wall was too high. No range was out of question and no angle was too acute.
