Trending
This goal is perhaps the most important of all the goals on this list in terms of the game and result. It was the Champions League semi-final and United had won the first leg at home by the narrowest margin of 1-0.
The return leg at the Emirates stadium saw United take an early lead before Ronaldo scored from a majestic free-kick. 40 yards out towards the right flank and Ronaldo was the man of the moment. The shot was pure power and had just a little bit of swerve as the ball flew past Arsenal’s custodian Manuel Almunia on his near post.
