One of Cristiano Ronaldo's subjects to solve was scoring a free kick this season. Today, against Eibar, the Portuguese striker made it happen, maybe with a little help from Eibar's goalkeeper, Irureta.
After 21 minutes of playing time, Ronaldo took the opportunity after Luka Modric was fouled outside the box. Following his usual posing, CR7 struck the ball with his well-known effect, which was too much for Irureta to handle. This was Ronaldo's first free kick goal in 56 attempts, considering his appearances with Real Madrid and his National Team.

Ronaldo's free kick goal was the first for him since April 29th, when he scored against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Of course, this goal was not overlooked by fans around the world. Here's what they had to say about the Portuguese's latest conquest!
