Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has said that his overhead kick for Real Madrid against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League is the favourite goal of his career.
The Portuguese star reached the historic 700-goal milestone while playing for his country earlier in October.
The 700th goal came in his 973rd game, of which he scored at least once in 458 of them, over 17 years.
Ronaldo has spent the majority of his career at Real Madrid so it is of no surprise that his favourite strike came for Los Blancos, and after a few attempts.
Ronaldo scored 311 goals for Real Madrid in 292 games for the club, but the athletic bicycle kick was his biggest achievement.
“Seven hundred goals, it’s an impressive total that makes me all the more proud that few players have reached,” he told France Football (via the Evening Standard).

“If you ask me to choose [a favourite], I would say the goal against Juventus because it’s a goal I’ve been trying to score for years.”
