Spanish media reacts to Ronaldo's sensational bicycle kick
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 04 - 04 - 2018

MADRID, April 4, 2018 - It was no surprise that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo made the headlines on Wednesday following his sensational overhead kick against Juventus.
Ronaldo's bicycle kick to put Madrid 2-0 up in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final was one of the greatest goals in the competition.
The remarkable effort was applauded by the home supporters in the Allianz Stadium.
Zinedine Zidane's side produced a commanding display against Juve with the tie almost over after securing a 3-0 victory.
Spanish newspapers AS and Marca led with a picture of Ronaldo's amazing strike.
AS's headline was: 'What planet did you come from? while Marca's read: 'THE goal' followed by 'Cristiano scores an overhead kick in a historic victory in Turin'.
However it was not only Spain that praised Ronaldo as Italian newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport also featured Ronaldo on their front pages.
La Gazzetta's headline read: 'CRWOW!' while Corriere referred to the strike as 'a work of art'.
The headline on the Tuttosport front page was: 'On another planet.'
France and Portugal also joined in in hailing Ronaldo on Wednesday morning.
L'Equipe's headline also read: 'On another planet' while Portuguese paper A BOLA's headline read: 'You are the greatest!'
Spain's Catalonia-based papers Mundo Deportivo and Sport gave Ronaldo little limelight and had Lionel Messi as their splashes.
Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic just can't help himself, can he? The striker once again had the last word following Cristiano Ronaldo's amazing bicycle kick against Juventus.
Ronaldo scored an amazing acrobatic effort as Real Madrid impressively beat Juventus 3-0 on Tuesday night in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
The Portuguese star, rightly so, received applause from the whole stadium on Tuesday and even Ibrahimovic, currently enjoying his football in America with LA Galaxy, praised his effort.
However, in typical Ibrahimovic fashion, he still managed to big himself up when talking about Ronaldo's goal.
Ibrahimovic, talking on Sportscenter in the United States, said: 'It was a nice goal, but he should try it from 40 metres'.
Of course, the former Manchester United striker was talking about the wonder goal he scored for Sweden against England from long-range in a friendly back in 2012.
The 36-year-old scored just the four goals as Sweden overcame England 4-2 but it was his last goal that got everyone talking.
After Joe Hart failed to clear his lines properly, Ibrahimovic connected to a looping ball before acrobatically striking home from 40 yards to wrap up victory for the hosts.
