Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated by UEFA for headed goals at Real Madrid and Juventus

‘The true headmaster’: Fans claim there is no one better in the air than Cristiano Ronaldo after UEFA share video of every headed goal the Juventus star has scored in the Champions League 

  • Cristiano Ronaldo has grown into one of the best headers of the ball in the game 
  • UEFA uploaded a video of every headed goal he scored in Champions League 
  • Ronaldo even knocked Atletico Madrid out with a headed brace this month 

Given Cristiano Ronaldo was known for his skilful feet as a young player, it is incredible how much he has worked on other elements of his game.

His heading, for example, is much improved from the days when the physical side of his play did not match up to the talent that he possessed at his feet.

Against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this month, for example, he had a big part to play in Juventus going through to the quarter-final stage by scoring a brace of headers.

And UEFA chose to celebrate that talent with a video of all of his headed goals in the Champions League on Wednesday.

They captioned the image: ‘Is there anyone better in the air?’

Unsurprisingly, the majority of the responses suggested he was the best when it came to using his head.

Emmanuel Omoruyi responded to the tweet with the simple comment: ‘The true headmaster’.

Ferdia O’Flaherty wrote, ‘Like a freshwater salmon’, while Mu Fahad answered ‘No. Greatest header of the ball. Cristiano Ronaldo.’

Syed Mueez was impressed, commenting: ‘It’s like a superpower the leap and the sense of judgement of heading the ball he’s got.’

Jeferson Nunes, meanwhile, added: ‘There is something I can agree on. CR7 is probably the best head scorer now and ever’.
