"What a header, you can't stop that, the leap, the spring the way he held himself in the air. What a header. I blamed Patrice Evra for his goal at first for not challenging - then I saw the replay and I felt a bit stupid. On the replay, Ronaldo's knee is about as high as Evra's head. It was phenomenal! I've seen it before, and I don't think any other player in the world can do that - certainly not Lionel Messi." - Sir Alex Ferguson on Ronaldo's header against Manchester United in the Champions League last-16 at Santiago Bernabeu.
