Talking of power, Ronaldo slams the ball as hard as a demolition machine’s wrecking ball crushing through a construction. He is football’s version of Hercules. But what if he can head the ball just as ferociously as he could kick?

Quite simply, bring the house down. And that’s what he did against Wales in the semi-finals of a triumphant Euro 2016.

As Raphael Guerreiro whipped in a delivery off a short-played corner, Ronaldo leaps off the ground, floats in the air a second longer than what gravity would allow you to, and sends in a howitzer as the world watched his athleticism in shock and awe.

What was more special about this is the ridiculously few steps he took to jump that high - higher than an average NBA player. But this is Ronaldo we’re talking about. Logic goes out to take a stroll whenever the discussion circles around him.
