The 33-year-old's overhead kick against Juventus last week got the royal seal of approval
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed that the King of Spain, Juan Carlos, called him to praise Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese scored an incredible overhead kick against Juventus as Zinedine Zidane’s side put the Italians to the sword 3-0 in Turin.
It was an effort that drew applause from the home crowd, something that Ronaldo even said had never happened to him previously.
And Perez, who hailed the 33-year-old as the “great heir” to Alfredo Di Stefano at the Bernabeu, has disclosed that he got a very special phone call in the aftermath.
