The Portuguese forward leaped 2.56 metres in the air and remained suspended for 1.5 seconds to score the winner that left football fans speechless across the world.
The goal left his manager Maurizio Sarri shocked as he reacted after the match: ‘What did I think when I saw Ronaldo’s goal? I thought, “F***, what a goal!”.
‘I say, “F***” because if I said, “Damn” it wouldn’t be fair towards the goal.’

The pair are old friends and Ronaldo has previously been seen at Djokovic’s matches including at the ATP Tour Finals in London last year.
