Ronaldo,known for his fearsome prowress to (almost) (like Superman) leap over tall buildings in a single bound has always aimed high.
That purpose he has in life hasn’t been working too well for him when it comes to his free kick taking record.He’s really got to aim a bit lower..
This is a free kick he took in Portugal-Israel friendly recently.

Ronaldo has only scored a single free-kick in club football since he found the net for Real Madrid in the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup final – so its been a while.
But even though he almost sent that ball into the stratosphere-he made up for it a bit later by doing what he’s really good at- scoring field goals.He scored the second of the 2 goals that Portugal beat Israel by.
And a bit later he showed that giant leaps are not his only superhuman ability.
He is also able to run (almost) as fast as a speeding train no less.
He covered 60m in 7 seconds….
