Of his four free-kick goals this season, three have been perfect replicas of one another. An exceptional display of the distinctive manner of striking the ball with the exterior of the foot. Cristiano Ronaldo's love affair of free kicks began in Zurich, continued in Marseille and most recently touched down in the Santiago Bernabeu, where 6'4" Diego Lopez couldn't even get a fingertip to the ball. Each goal is more impressive than the last, and Cristiano's free-kick reliability and precision foretell of many more to come.
