5 Cristiano Ronaldo moments a fan can never forget. 

#2 La Undecima

The one strike that fixed everything!

Los Blancos, the most successful club in Europe, had won the continents's most elite competition a record 9 times. But after Zidane's volley in 2002, it took Real 12 years to play a Champions League final again.

Losing in or before the semifinal for 11 years on the trot , the frustration in the Bernabou camp was starting to seem tangible. In 2014, Real Madrid finally earned a slot in the most exciting game of the season: a Champions League final, but more importantly a final against their local rivals, the Los Colchoneros, Atletico de Madrid.

In what would go down in Real Madrid's history as one of their most important games, Sergio Ramos led the team to lay their hands on the illusive Decima. But the hunger wasn't satisfied. The fans, the staff, the players, they all wanted more, and 2 years later, they were back in the final.

The year was 2016, the place was Milan, but the teams were the same. Atletico wanted a rematch, and they got it. For the second time in three years, the champions league final was a Madrid Derby. The stage was set. Real were looking for their 11th CL title in history and second in 3 years, while Atletico were looking to win it for the maiden time.

Things were very different this time, yet extremely similar. Los Blancos scored the first goal of the final, unlike 2014, but the scorer was the same. The Real Madrid captain rose to the occassion once again and early netted the ball across San Siro early into the first half.

Equalising through the substitute Carrasco, Atletico managed to stop the in-form Real Madrid and take the game into extra time, and thereafter, into penalties.

10 kicks of a football would script the pages of history. The first seven found the back of the net, but the 8th didn't. Juanfaran's kick hit the post. All Real needed now, was to score the final goal.

Ronaldo stepped up for the nth time in his career. What;s more, he chose spot kick that could either make him the hero or degrade him as a villain. Madrid's and probably the world's finest penalty taker was up to take the most important kick of his life. He held the hopes of thousands in the stands around him and millions around the world.

Penalties had hurt him in the past. The miss against Bayern Munich in the semi final, 4 years ago suddenly sprang to memory. The miss in the CL final against arch-rivals Chelsea was still a fresh wound.

The pressure was too much and a lot more was at stake. The competition was long, all that effort and pain, all that struggle, all of it would be worth it or in vain, depending up on where that ball landed.

However, the arrogant, fearless boy was still the same.

He stood there, 12 yards away from goal, in his iconic stancem which is now legendary. He took a deep breath, looked the referee in the eye and waited for the whistle. He swung his leg at the ball, sending it hurling into the net to give Madrid their La Undecima.

Milan had only one name to sing. The man of the moment.

Unmoved by the pressure of expectation, Ronaldo did what he does best, and the rest as they say, is history.
