Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been compared to an NBA player after​ showing incredible athleticism to score an iconic headed goal for Juventus. Juventus moved three points clear at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 win over Sampdoria on Thursday (NZT), Ronaldo producing a remarkable leap and a towering header to score the match-winner moments before halftime. Ronaldo was calculated to have jumped 71 centimetres off the ground to meet the cross at a height of 2.56m. AP Cristiano Ronaldo leaps above the Sampdoria defence to score Juventus' second goal. ​"There's nothing you can say about it, you can only congratulate him and move on."
