Cristiano Ronaldo may have fallen short in his quest for another Ballon d’Or, but the Juventus forward is literally head and shoulders above the competition.
Juve secured a 2-1 win over Sampdoria thanks to goals from Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala to put them back at the top of Serie A.
Gianluigi Buffon made headlines before the game by making his 647th Serie A appearance and his 479th for the bianconeri.
However, the match will be remembered for Ronaldo’s moment of magic.
During the Serie A fixture at Sampdoria, the Portugal captain defied the laws of physics as he managed to clear every single defender and the goalkeeper to head home.
Making it five goals in last five league games, the 34-year-old met Alex Sandro’s left wing cross at the back post to give the Old Lady the lead on Wednesday night. Check it out below.
Maurizio Sarri secured his 100th Serie A victory as a coach in just his 169th match – a record in the Italian top-flight this century.
But fans will remember this night for Ronaldo’s death-defying leap which defies gravity.
