Cristiano Ronaldo is at it again after he pulled off a brilliant backheel pass which was both cheeky and brilliant and one which took the Milan players by surprise. After Ronaldo was closed down by the Milan players, it looked like there was no option in front of the former Manchester United winger.
But what he did next was one of the highlights of an otherwise uneventful match. The winger pulled off a cheeky backheel pass without even looking while facing away from the goal and the pass was a perfect one. It was a truly dramatic turn by the 30-year-old which was mesmerising.
Real Madrid eventually won the match in the penalty shootout after they beat the Italian side 10-9, with all 22 players taking a penalty. Ronaldo showed off his skills to the Chinese crowd yet again after he had pulled off a no-look flick during Real Madrid’s training session prior to the match.
It was Andrea Bertolacci of AC Milan who was at the receiving end of the cheeky skill by the Portuguese star as he could only stand watching. Ronaldo has been looking sharp in pre-season and his willingness to be adventurous and bold is a positive sign for the Spanish side ahead of the season.
