HE has scored a plethora of spectacular goals in his career, so it’s no surprise that Ronaldo’s first ever goal in senior football was a belter.
Aged 17, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner netted the first of many when turning out for his first club, Sporting CP back in 2002.
The Portuguese 'Galactico' has gone on to score more than 400 goals in an exceptional career, and despite recently turning 31, the attacker shows no sign of letting up.
He has recently returned to the Real Madrid team after picking up an injury at Euro 2016.
Back in 2002, Ronaldo featured for Sporting in a Portuguese league match against Moreirense.
He receives the ball around 50 yards from goal from from a clever backheel.
Two players then snap in with attempts to tackle Ronaldo - but both are left well behind.
The stepover we know him so well for is then put on show, completely flummoxing the last line of defence.
Ronaldo then keeps his nerve defying his age as he deftly chips the ball over the advancing keeper and into the goal.
Sporting went on to win the game 3-0.
