About this goal

Ronaldo leaves poor Joel Matip for dead with a series of stepovers before finding enough space to drilled across goal into the far corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 23/30

 

The skill from Ronaldo is as mesmerising as the finish is devastating.

Technical Difficulty 22/30

 

To perform those stepovers at such speed is something else, as is the finish.

Uniqueness 14/20

 

Ronaldo has scored one or two like this before, including one v Galatasaray that is eerily similar.

Importance 6/10

 

In an easy win in the Champions League.

Standard of Opposition 7/10

 

Schalke

FootballCritic Verdict

7.2

You have to feel sorry for Matip as he looks like a lost child trying to confront Ronaldo, who makes the defender look rather silly in the end
