(VIDEO) Cristiano Ronaldo’s Stunning Bicycle Kicks: Which Is the Greatest?
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to amaze the world, just as he has throughout his entire career. His most recent goal for Portugal is proof that the forward, even as he nears 40, is far from finished.
The goal brought to mind one of the most iconic moments of his career when he soared through the air to score in his team’s 5-1 victory over Poland. This goal also marked his 910th career goal and added to his tally of five goals in the same number of matches in the UEFA Nations League.

What made this goal even more special was the height he reached. Ronaldo’s bicycle kick reached 2.38 meters, making it one of the highest ever recorded in football, almost matching the 2.32 meters of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s incredible bicycle kick.
