Cristiano Ronaldo announced his arrival in English football in some fashion during his time at Manchester United. Defenders were wary of facing the Portuguese winger who displayed a penchant for stepovers before dribbling past the opposition. With age, Cristiano Ronaldo has adopted a different style of play, one that focuses on banging in the goals. While his new approach to football has helped him hit the ground running at Juventus, Ronaldo still instils the same sense of fear in goalkeepers as he once did at Manchester United and Real Madrid.
