#6 Versus Estonia (International friendly, 2016)
The year of 2016 remains Ronaldo’s most successful and memorable one till date, having done the rare double of Champions League and Euro Cup that summer. But before he embarked on his much-coveted journey to lift the Henri Delaunay trophy, he warmed up with a starring performance in the 7-0 annihilation of Estonia in a friendly, bagging a brace.
That double included a neatly struck header from close range, but so powerful and pin-point, it would have taken something special to stop it.
Ricardo Quaresma made a wonderful ‘trivela’ pass across the face of the goal where Ronaldo awaited, and the Seleccao No.7, after shimmying a few steps, stationed himself at a place just around 10 yards from goal and threw his body at the onrushing ball for an outrageous diving finish.
Don’t remember the goal? Here you go...
