Ronaldo's overhead kick against Juventus wins UEFA goal of the season
Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning overhead bicycle kick for his previous Real Madrid against current club Juventus has been voted UEFA's goal of the season.

"Thanks to everyone who voted for me. Will never forget that moment, specially the reaction of the fans in the stadium," the 33-year-old Portuguese said on Twitter.
