#1 That overhead kick against Juventus

TOPSHOT-FBL-EUR-C1-JUVENTUS-REAL MADRID
What a wonderful strike!

Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolutely incredible athlete and there is no doubting that. The man has kept himself in great shape and at the age of 33, is perhaps even fitter than some of the much younger players.

Ronaldo was already going great guns in the Champions League but this was something that was just ridiculously beautiful to behold. Ronaldo's overhead kick looked so much like a dream that every single soul in the Juventus stadium stood up and applauded the Portuguese forward.

He had already scored in the game and given Real Madrid the advantage in the first leg of the quarter-final tie. It was after this that he plucked a Carvajal cross from mid-air and rose above all else and scored one of the most beautiful overhead kicks we have had the good fortune of witnessing.

Even Gianluigi Buffon was stunned. Zinedine Zidane couldn't believe it at the touchline either. Neither could his teammates. Neither could we. Well, that's just how Cristiano Ronaldo goes about his business, isn't it?
