Top 10 headed goals by Cristiano Ronaldo

#8 Versus AS Roma (UEFA Champions League, 2008)

AS Roma vs Manchester United, quarter-finals, UEFA Champions League 2007/08

Between April 2007 to April 2008, Manchester United and AS Roma clashed as many as six times in the Champions League. The fixture produced several moments to savour - Roma fighting the odds to win the first of the sextuple at Stadio Olimpico, United then blowing the deficit out of water with a 7-1 hammering in the return...and this header from Ronaldo.

When the teams clashed once more in another quarter-final tie a year later, Ronaldo put the Red Devils on their way to a crucial win with a stunning header in Rome.

He latched onto Paul Scholes’ no-look pass inside the area by charging out of nowhere, and despite a Roma defender clattering him, Ronaldo headed the ball in the right direction which took a bounce behind the line before crashing into the nets.

So quick was the flight of the ball that you blink, and you’ll miss it.
