(Video) Cristiano Ronaldo comes close to scoring stunning bicycle-kick for Portugal

 

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo came close to completing his hat-trick during Portugal vs Luxembourg with a stunning bicycle-kick.

Ronaldo already had two goals to his name within 13 minutes of the World Cup qualifier, having netted twice from the penalty spot in the space of just five minutes.

His club and country teammate Bruno Fernandes added a third from an acute angle, ending any possibility of Luxembourg causing an unlikely upset in the fixture.

Luxembourg immediately turned to damage control and actually managed to last another 52 minutes without conceding, that was until Joao Palhinha found the net, assisted by Fernandes.
