Cristiano Ronaldo shows over and over that he still has pace and that he still can get into a defender’s head when they’re trying to clear the ball.
Juventus are playing against Inter today in the Coppa Italia and Lautaro Martinez put Inter one goal up inside the first 10 minutes but a brace from Cristiano had sling-shotted Juventus into the lead.
A penalty for his first goal but a moment of pure mind games to secure his second goal tonight. A mix up between Handanovic and Bastoni in defence that Cristiano has capitalized on and during his goal celebration he immediately pointed to his head to signal that he had out-brained the Inter players.
Bastoni clearly thought he could dummy Cristiano and that Ronaldo would try and intercept the pass to the keeper but Ronaldo knew what he was doing as he dispossess Bastoni to get a shot on an empty goal.
A combination of game sense and great finishing.
Goalkeepers, look away! 😬
