CRISTIANO RONALDO almost set up a goal in Portugal’s crunch World Cup meeting with Uruguay thanks to an outrageous piece of skill.
Fans were wowed as the 37-year-old nearly grabbed an assist with his SHOULDER.
Ronaldo scored in Portugal’s opening win over Ghana – days after he was sacked by Manchester United following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
And the free agent looked in the mood for more in the game against Uruguay.
With the match in just the third minute, left-back Nuno Mendes launched a long throw towards Ronaldo in the box.
There wasn’t much on for the forward as it fell to him, but he somehow managed to connect perfectly with the ball using his shoulder.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
It looped in the air and dropped perfectly for William Carvalho to hit on the volley.
But the midfielder blazed his effort over the bar, costing Ronaldo an incredible assist.
Fans though were left in awe by Ronaldo’s skill.
One wrote on Twitter: “Bruh the shoulder pass by Ronaldo was clean af.”
Another gushed: “Ronaldo that shoulder pass was FILTH more of that please GOAT.”
A third added: “That Ronaldo shoulder was insane…”
And another declared: “That Ronaldo shoulder flick was outrageous.”
Ronaldo and Portugal can qualify for the World Cup knockout stages with a win over Uruguay.
