During a recent statement on Sky Sport, Cristiano Ronaldo picked his favorite goal from the three years he’s been a Juventus player.
Out of all the amazing goals Cristiano Ronaldo scored so far, we finally know which one is his favorite as a Juventus player. There have been many great moments throughout the last three seasons for the Portuguese forward. However, there is one specific moment that stands out above the rest. If you didn’t guess by now, you really haven’t followed Ronaldo’s career in Italian football. The one goal that stands out above the rest is the incredible header he scored against Sampdoria back in 2019.
By the end of the year before the pandemic, Cristiano gave us a beautiful work of art that nobody will ever forget. Even though he left some incredible moments both at Manchester United and Real Madrid, he also left some to spare for his time in Serie A. We don’t exaggerate when we say this is the greatest header he scored in his entire career, and that’s a big statement. Just take a look and decide for yourself.
Ronaldo analyzes Juventus’ “strange year”.
During a recent interview with Sky Sport while receiving the Player of the Year Award in Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about this goal and analyzed his club’s season: “It was a strange year, a year that no one would have wanted, but on a personal and team level, it was positive, because we won the championship. At the beginning, it was difficult to play in empty stadiums, but our goal was to win the championship and we did it.
“We missed the Champions League but that’s how football is. The header against Sampdoria was my best goal, I’m very sure of it,” Ronaldo continued. “I want to thank my teammates, because without them it wouldn’t have been possible to receive this prize. Thanks to the players who voted for me, I feel very lucky. I think the trust, the endurance and passion are the secret to continuing to enjoy football. I feel motivated and these elements must coexist, otherwise it’s not possible to play at this level when you are 35, 36, 37 or 40.”
