#3 Versus FC Barcelona (Copa del Rey, 2011)
Coming back to Ronaldo’s not-so-great record in the Copa del Rey, even though he'd score six times prior to this showpiece that season, he made his first real impression in the competition with this worldie against arch-rivals Barcelona to condemn the holders to a late defeat, thereby also foiling Pep Guardiola’s ambitions of a second treble in three years.

With the match deadlocked at 0-0, Angel Di Maria scampered down the left wing and sent in a wonderful cross that Ronaldo timed his jump perfectly to head home beyond the despairing dive of Jose Pinto and win Los Blancos their first title in two years.
Ronaldo’s jump, Ronaldo’s effortlessness in beating Adriano to the ball and Ronaldo’s power in hitting the ball - everything about this goal was top-notch. And it never gets old.
