Ronaldo's Real Madrid heroics stun Rio Ferdinand: 'He's taking liberties!'

The Portuguese forward has left a former Manchester United team-mate in awe following another "laughable" display in the Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo is “taking liberties” with his “laughable” performances for Real Madrid, says former Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand.

The Portuguese was at his jaw-dropping best during a Champions League meeting with Juventus on Tuesday.

With Real looking to their five-time Ballon d’Or winner for inspiration, the 33-year-old duly delivered with a record-breaking opener and a stunning overhead kick in a 3-0 first leg victory in Turin.

Ronaldo’s display has once again seen him held up as the greatest of all-time, with Ferdinand admitting that a remarkable skill set makes life almost unfair for those charged with the task of trying to contain him.
