It's been a long time since the Champions League witnessed stunning free-kick goals. Currently, the top figures in this regard are Kylian Mbappé and Kevin De Bruyne. However, a few years ago, players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo used to delight us from time to time with these kinds of goals.

Regarding the latter, unlike Messi's subtle, classy shots, CR7 used to deliver powerful strikes capable of breaking the net of any goal, especially from considerable distances.

Many of these goals were enjoyed during Cristiano's time at Manchester United, a team that nowadays would do anything to have a player like him, while others came in the early years of the Portuguese's career at Real Madrid, before he evolved more into a penalty box "killer."

The last of such goals from the Portuguese superstar came against the team where he made his debut, Sporting Lisbon, in the 2016-2017 season.
