"His goal he scored against Roma to this day is the best goal that I've ever seen, the header, Neville said. The header away against Roma, it was the most miraculous goal I've ever seen. He jumped from the edge of the box and headed it on the penalty spot at full speed. He sprinted from the halfway line nearly. I've never seen anything like it."
"See below for that famous goal, with Ronaldo certainly getting a fantastic run on Paul Scholes' cross before powering home at the Stadio Olimpico However, given Ronaldo's famous long-range strikes, both from open play and free-kicks, and *that* bicycle kick he scored for Real Madrid away to Juventus later in his career, it's debatable if this header even makes the Portuguese's personal top ten."
Cristiano Ronaldo's 2007/08 header for Manchester United against Roma is highlighted for its athleticism, power and rare execution. The sequence involved a near-halfway sprint, a leap from the edge of the box and a header directed to the penalty spot at full speed following a Paul Scholes cross at the Stadio Olimpico. The claim that this header is the best-ever goal prompts debate because Ronaldo produced numerous long-range strikes, free-kicks and a later bicycle kick for Real Madrid. Other Manchester United iconic goals include volleys by Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes and David Beckham's halfway-line lob. Cristiano Ronaldo is approaching 1,000 career goals, currently standing on 960, with the exact timing of the milestone unclear.
