A large part of these goals are placed on this list thanks to Ronald’s unique and superhuman ability on the exhibition and this is certainly the one that suits that category.
It is rare to see the headers achieve the biggest list of goals, but this one is certainly worthy of increasing the stunning 2.56 meters in the air to overcome almost the entire body above the Sampdoria defender before inserting the header into the net.
3. Manchester United Vs. Portsmouth (2008)
