Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has described Cristiano Ronaldo's header against Roma in 2008 as 'the best goal I've ever seen'.
Ronaldo has scored 578 goals at club level during his illustrious career, but Neville reserved particular praise for the Portuguese's outstanding header in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The 33-year-old is determined to score against United for Juventus on Tuesday night, but the impact that he made for the Red Devils certainly hasn't been forgotten by Neville.
Neville told ESPN (via The Metro): ‘His goal that he scored against Roma, to this day, is the best goal I’ve ever seen.
‘It’s the most miraculous goal that I’ve ever seen. He jumped from the edge of the box and headed it on the penalty spot at full speed.
‘And he’d sprinted from the halfway line nearly. I had never seen anything like it.’
Ronaldo helped United to win the Champions League that year and he will be aiming to do likewise with Juventus this time around.
Juventus have won both of their Champions League group games so far, while United have taken four points from a possible six.
Since making the switch to Juventus from Real in the summer Ronaldo has scored five goals and provided as many assists in ten games.
Ronaldo has, however, often struggled to find the net against teams managed by Jose Mourinho - he has scored just once in 14 such fixtures.

Pele and David Beckham himself Said ronaldo is the goat , the playmaking and assist of ronaldo is really underlooked .
And Ronaldo's playmaking is underlooked because it isn't nearly comparable to all time playmakers. He is better than an average playmaker but cannot make it to the all time list and you cannot even think about arguing with me on that. On the other hand messi is without doubt one of the greatest passers, playmakers and goalscorers as well as dribblers. Am. I. Wrong?

FFS PELE KEEPS changing his opinion... And I terms of more complete player, PELE aways prefers messi. And do you even know that David beckham prefers MESSI not Ronaldo. He has already stated that Ronaldo doesn't reach the level of messi. Even his kids are messi fans. And then consider greatest epl striker Alan shearer who says messi is best ever, Paul Scholes, tevez, Totti, Roberto Carlos, Rooney, casillas, Raul, guti, Di Stefano - all these have evidently stated that messi is the greatest so I bet you to find a better list than this. And all of these names have prefered messi are true so don't try to make excuses by calling them fake. Many of them are real Madrid legends and Ronaldo ex teammates too 😊

he has right to his opinions and if he feels it's best goal he has his reasons.. must everyone sail in same ship.. the goal was fantastic because even commentators wondered how he could suspend himself that long in the air..

Do childish understanding.. Messi is considered as one of the greatest goalscorer, playmaker, dribbler passer of all time hailed by football legends as the best of all time all over the world. Ronaldo's ex teammates, world cup winning coaches, real madrid coaches have said that messi is the greatest. Best coaches always prefer messi over Ronaldo and these are the people who understand football much better than you, me and all of us fans

Ronaldo is magical. He can still perform his magical moment. Sometimes i enjoy watching his magical moments, techniques & then crush time why it made Ronaldo older & then again i use to ask myself how can this man still gets back to his older days where the dribbling, solo goals are the pleasures to enjoy 😍 👑 CR7💖
