Panenka, bicycle kick, alchemy: Cristiano reaches level '910'

He's definitely out of this world. Portugal trash Poland 5-1 thanks to a second-half storm and amazing Ronaldo

One would say Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer ever. For others, he's got endless superego and his only goal is to make incredible individual achievements. You just can't be indiferrent to him.

The fact is that no one has scored more goals since football was created. Moreover, there has not been a bigger fanatic to play it. At the age of 40, Ronaldo is still the fierce weapon of the Portuguese national team, and he proved it once again tonight as his team demolished Poland 5-1 in the UEFA Nations League.


For almost an hour, Robert Lewandowski's side kept resisting at Dragao Stadium before Rafael Leao broke the deadlock and triggered a genuine avalanche. Bruno Fernandes scored a spectacular goal, firing it superbly just below the crossbar from 20 yards out.

Still, this was Cristiano's night. He put his name on the scoresheet with a lovely Panenka chip from the spot and then launched a mouth-watering bicycle kick to score his 910th career goal.

World 'limit' doesn't exist in his dictionary!
