Real Madrid travelled to Juventus' Allianz Stadium on 3 April 2018 for a UEFA Champions League quarter-final, and came back with a rousing 3-0 win after that first-leg encounter.
Former Los Blancos talisman Ronaldo was once again the Man of the Match and the talk of world football following his two-goal showing.
He scored his side's opener within three minutes – his fastest ever in the competition – but it was his second strike that made headlines all over the world.
Ronaldo rose to score with a brilliant overhead kick following an inch-perfect cross from Dani Carvajal, and legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon could only watch as the ball floated into the back of the net – you can watch the strike in its full beauty below:
