Former Real Madrid goalkeeper named Cristiano Ronaldo as most powerful shooter he has ever faced
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 845 goals in his career and is the most prolific goalscorer in the game's history. Ronaldo also happens to be one of the cleanest strikers of the football.
His connection is pure as anything, and the Portuguese generates an immense amount of power with his thuds. Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Antonio Adan named the Portuguese legend as the most powerful shooter he has ever faced. Adan said (via O Jogo Portugal):
"I played with a lot of strikers. ... I played against (Lionel) Messi. I was teammates with (Cristiano) Ronaldo. I shared a changing room with Raul, Beckham, Ronaldo Nazario.
"They are all great players, of an extreme level. (Cristiano) Ronaldo, when it's time to shoot on goal, for the power he imprints, for the determination he has when facing the goal (he's peerless)."
Ronaldo scored a brace in Al-Nassr's 2-1 win against Al-Hilal in the the Arab Cup of Champions final on Saturday (August 12).
