Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed the former King of Spain, Juan Carlos, called him to congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo following his breathtaking goal against Juventus.
Ronaldo scored twice as Madrid hammered the Italian champions in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie, with his second goal a stunning overhead kick.
It's a goal that captured the imagination of the football world and even the royals were impressed with Ronaldo's piece of brilliance, according to Perez.
"Juan Carlos called me to congratulate Cristiano," he said to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Robin Bairner of Goal).
