Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning overhead bicycle kick playing for Real Madrid against his current club Juventus has been voted the UEFA’s goal of the season. This was a Champions League quarter-final first leg in Turin where Real Madrid were allready 1-0 up in the game courtesy of Ronaldo’s second minute goal. He didn’t held back and showed some acrobatics skills to take his team 2-0 up with a world class goal that can be played in loop without getting bored.
The 33-year-old striker pipped 11 other nominees in pursuit of the title.
“Thanks to everyone who voted for me. Will never forget that moment, specially the reaction of the fans in the stadium,” the 33-year-old Portuguese superstar said on Twitter, using the hashtag #SpecialMoment.
Ronaldo said it was “the best goal” of his career and it helped Real to a 3-0 win on the night and moved them a step closer to an eventual quarter-final victory over Juve. The Spanish club went on to win the competition for the third consecutive season.
The striker said the Juventus’ crowd’s standing ovation played a part in his decision to move to Turin in a 100 million-euro deal last month.
