But can he do it on a hot summer's night in Russia, with the weight of expectation of Portuguese people all over the world on his shoulders? Today was Cristiano Ronaldo's day, a day on which he scored what has been described as not only the best goal in Champions League history but one of the best in football ever.
Juventus' defender Andrea Barzagli called Ronaldo's bicycle kick goal against his team a "playstation goal". It really was the kind of thing you only normally see in a Harlem Globetrotters' football equivalent show. But it was even better than that. Even the greatest exhibitionist, relaxed with no competitive pressure, could not match the level of athleticism.
Love or hate him, or really have no time for him you've got to respect that he is one of the greatest footballers ever.
