Cristiano Ronaldo Reacts To Gravity-Defying Goal

Cristiano Ronaldo Reacts To Gravity-Defying Goal

After Cristiano Ronaldo all but defied gravity with his goal on Wednesday night, the Juventus superstar shared his reaction to his incredible effort.

Ronaldo helped the Bianconeri claim a 2-1 victory over Sampdoria on Wednesday, and set social media ablaze following his leaping headed effort that earned his side the win. 

After the match, Sampdoria manager Claudio Ranieri compared the amount of time the 34-year-old spent in the air for his header to that of an NBA player.

"I'm very happy with the result. It's been a very difficult match against a Sampdoria team who played well. We managed to do even better and deservedly got this victory," Ronaldo said.

"The team played with a great attitude. The goal was great, especially because it was decisive for winning the three points. I didn't know I was up (in the air) so long."

Ronaldo endured a difficult start to the season due to injury, but has scored six goals in his last five appearances for the reigning Serie A champions.
