Top 5 Cristiano Ronaldo assists

#1 Manchester United vs Aston Villa (for Wayne Rooney)

Rooney and Ronaldo

This isn't just another assist. This is a moment of pure magic from the famed right boot of Cristiano Ronaldo. We have often seen him hammer the ball into the back of the net with that right foot of his. This, however, is the most delicate and deftest of touches from Ronaldo.

The match is the same that featured in the fourth spot in this list. Manchester United were 2-0 up at the time and were in a rampant mood. Ryan Giggs seemed to have overcooked a pass in hope of finding Cristiano, however, it helped the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to produce a moment of exquisite genius.

Ronaldo used the power of the ball to just help it on its way, flicking it towards Wayne Rooney who was then through on goal. Of course, Rooney did his part and sealed all three points for United against Villa. As we already know, the game ended 4-0 in United's favour.

While some believe the flick was never meant for Rooney and was intended to reach Patrice Evra instead, we will give the benefit of the doubt to Cristiano. Regardless of who it was meant for, it looks absolutely majestic.
