In one of the most emotionally charged encounters of his career, Ronaldo marked his first appearance against former club Manchester United with a near-superhuman goal.
Angel di Maria swung in a cross from the left wing at a fairly unreachable height. The ball passed over the defenders upto the near post without harm, but Ronaldo, who was running in at the far post, leapt around 30 inches above the ground, sustaining his jump to make clean contact with the ball as a hapless Evra found his face a few feet from Ronaldo’s knees.
This goal has helped conjure up one of the most iconic images from the legend’s career. In the context of the match, it eventually gave Real a 1-1 draw, which they capitalized upon with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford in the second leg.
