1. No-look backheeled goal past a crowded defence vs Rayo Vallecano, La Liga 2011-12
Trending
The cake for Ronaldo’s most improbable goalbound effort is taken by this shot against Rayo Vallecano in the 2011-12 season, when Real Madrid won their last La Liga title.
Mesut Ozil took a corner kick from Real’s left wing, which ricocheted off Sami Khedira and a Rayo defender and fell closest to Cristiano. As the ball moved away from goal, Ronaldo took a couple of steps to follow it, overtook the ball and expertly directed the ball past a crowd of defenders inside the far post.
The goal is an improbable watch for football fans everywhere, and has gained notoriety on a number of online forums as one of the most outrageous goals ever attempted or scored by a professional footballer.
