It's still a penalty kick, against a back up goalie.
There is pressure but that's a lame way for a game to end, not something that makes me say "wow ronaldo is great"

So we’re going to act like Wojciech Szczesny wasn’t the best keeper in Serie A last year :dahell:

And PKs are incredibly difficult. Many a great player has cracked under the pressure, shout-out to Roberto Baggio.

Say what you want about Ronaldo but this guy is a winner, plain and simple :wow: When the stakes are high, he tends to get the job done. It’s amazing to watch just how brilliant he is on the pitch.

As for folks talking about how easy it is to take a Pen shot...especially in the situation he was in:wow: That was pressure for sure. He just made it look easy as he does time and time again. Just what more can you say about him.

PKs are not incredibly difficult, the vast majority of them are scored.

If you didnt think he was great before that pen you’ll never think he was great.

Doesn’t change the fact that he took a high pressured pen very well.

This isn't me saying Ronaldo isn't great, or trying to compare him to Messi.
He is great, but a penalty kick isn't what makes me believe it.
His other goals against Juventus were much better.
