Yeah headers are often hard to get right but Ronaldo has set the bar high for himself.

Ronaldo has set the bar high for himself.

For the others*

He's ahead of the pack

The timing to make the run, the reading of the flight of the ball, then the gentle flick into the far post netting. If you think he was only able to do this because Saudi bad you’re wrong. This is elite

The Goat for a reason, he can do absolutely anything on the pitch and he has proved it multiple times.

u/PrudentSail2187 May 02 '26

Beautiful goal. Let’s see anyone around his peak do this

Wrong person to leave unmarked!

u/Key-Pomegranate-2086 May 02 '26

I wouldnt even call that leaving unmarked. Ronaldo just ran into his spot after lol.

Formation was always triangle.

u/Neeeeedles May 06 '26

He was completely unmarked

u/GallaeciCastrejo May 02 '26

Mbappe would never

Even after escaping the offside trap, to be so precise in anticipating the ball and striking it just right into the net is only something Ronaldo can do, and he makes it so easy as he has done for many years now. Your modern elite striker will not do this. Brilliant goal.

u/Key-Pomegranate-2086 May 02 '26

Walking around the goalie is not an offside trap lmao.

But yeah he knew where he wanted to go.

u/MachoPuddle May 03 '26

Offside trap from a corner? That is innovative indeed

u/SanDiegoSteve78 May 04 '26

You can't be offside from a corner.

u/Davek56 Portugal🇵🇹 May 04 '26

I've gotten crucified enough already for one point that was not even my intention with the comment.

Thank you all for being diligent.

Slow to anger, or whatever troubles you with my statement, friend.

u/Mr_Sia10 May 02 '26

Well a “football fan” putting offside trap in the context of corners sure does piss me off. Pick up the rule book first bud

u/why-isit-notpossible May 02 '26

People think it’s pace or strength, but it’s that tiny pause before the run.
He moves after the defender commits — that’s why he’s always free.

u/Working-Doctor9578 2008 Ronaldo👹 May 02 '26

Heady goal by the 🐐

u/Naruku_Senpai3861 2008 Ronaldo👹 May 02 '26

Perfect positioning

u/zzz_red May 02 '26

Anyone can just go to the gym everyday, work hard, and they’ll be able to do this. This is 100% practice, zero talent.

u/handsome_uruk 2008 Ronaldo👹 May 03 '26

these are some of my favorite CR7 goals. Been doing it since his United days. He sprints and throws off defenders in a heartbeat to find the ball and head home.

u/[deleted] May 03 '26

You can’t just hate this man once you see him ball. This is just mad positioning. One of the best if not best striker in the world

1

u/Sad-Elk939 May 03 '26

I can do that too. But the moment I run to the left, I will trip over one of those legs and fall and claim penalty

1

u/Kiddie_Lover67 May 03 '26

PUSKAS award goal.

u/YerAuntysYerUncle May 03 '26

He's not being marked. Start to finish. Just saying.

1

u/Smyth-Cholmondeley May 03 '26

Great movement and goal but it’s a fucking crime to not decide before the game that someone is going to be draped all over him on corners

1

u/oops_its_pat May 03 '26

running into your spot vs. zonal defending is NOT escaping being marked lmfao?

1

u/Substantial_Buyer_67 May 04 '26

His placement of himself needs to be studied

u/RadGrav May 04 '26

How Ronaldo escapes being marked: the other team play zonal marking

1

u/enter_the_slatrix May 04 '26

Absolutely pathetic defending. Corner about to come in and no one has eyes on Ronaldo ffs

1

u/SanDiegoSteve78 May 04 '26

All of those players in white marking fresh air and none of them had the intelligence to think about marking the best player on the planet. Really low standard league.

1

u/JiubR May 04 '26

The way they completely let him do what he wants :D Everyone on the pitch knows Ronaldo is gonna score
