#3 Cristiano Ronaldo v Juventus

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg One
Juventus were once again on the end of a bit of Ronaldo brilliance

Everyone knew that Ronaldo’s name was going to pop up on this list at some point, and it is with a goal against his new side, Juventus. The Portuguese superstar has tormented Juventus over the years, but he may never have scored a better goal than the one he put past them in April. It was a goal so good that he got a standing ovation from the opposition fans, not just his own.

With his side already 1-0 up away at Juve in their first leg of their Champions League tie, Dani Carvajal hung a ball up to the far post, behind Ronaldo, who leapt, and turned in mid-air to smash home a brilliant overhead kick. It was one of the great Champions League goals, and helped lead Real Madrid to another Champions League final, and their third straight title.
