Holy shit. Reminds me of his headed goal vs us in 2013. His leap and heading is just incredible. Greatest header of all time.Tweet

Zamorano would be proud of that one. His knee was above the defender’s head

He should have dribbled past a few players. This is shitTweet

How does he get that high up, and maintain power and accuracy???
Dancers know what you're talking about.I'm honestly just flabbergasted at a 35-year-old managing to land on a single leg from that height, velocity, and awkward angle and not blow up their knee. Insane athlete this guy
Should have scored a chip, a free kick and assisted too. This is shitTweet

Somebody was saying it was Harry Kane a few weeks back. Harry is great at positioning himself to score, but he is still levels below Ronaldo.Probably the best ever at heading.
But are dancers built like ronaldo though? Aren't they usually much slender?Dancers know what you're talking about.
Insane jump. Last time he jumped that high and stays that long in the air, I remember, was against us and Evra? But I thought this one is even more impressive as he jumped at a far difficult angle.
Who was the coach who said he has not dribbled past anyone in 3 yearsTweet

I agree this was a jaw dropping goal. His ability in the air is unmatched in the history of football. To be able to jump that high at 35 years old with that much mileage on his legs and then to land on 1 leg and not blow out a knee? Few if any in world football can do that!I'm honestly just flabbergasted at a 35-year-old managing to land on a single leg from that height, velocity, and awkward angle and not blow up their knee. Insane athlete this guy
Don't go overboard thereJust scored vs Sampdoria, very good goal tbf ... his trademark celebration
OiSIIIIIIUUU
I remember Hannibal Lecutur Suarez scored a header from outside of the box a few years back for the scouser. But I guess we can count him out for obvious reasonsWow. Best headed goal I've seen. That leap was ridiculous. Eyes always on the ball while soaring.
Mate even by his insane standards, that was incredible last night. Best header-er of a ball I've ever seen. Hangs in the air like JordanSIIIIIIUUU

Mário Jardel was better at it.Probably the best ever at heading.
Ronaldo can dunk surely.His knees were at head height. That's like a basketballer jump.
Those stats are BS and not clear. There's no way the guy has jumped 2.56 meters as his legs are below the other guys hips. Maybe his head is 2.56 m up in the air but that means he actually only jumped 0.6 meters or so. Not saying the jumps are insanely high and amazing, but very misleading
This one was the second highest. He didn't get the ball at the highest point though
Tbf I think it's pretty clear his feet were not 2.93m above the ground, otherwise he might as well retire and become an airplaneThose stats are BS and not clear.

Not to mention, how he somehow manages to hang and suspend himself in the air - almost levitating. That for me is what’s most mesmerising about his leaps especially when captured in slow-Mo like the one last night.It's not just the height of the jump that is impressive it's the timing, direction and power he get's on them.
