Cristiano Ronaldo has beat out competition from his team-mate Gareth Bale to finish top of UEFA's list of the best Champions League goals of the 2017-18 campaign.

Ronaldo's overhead kick in Real Madrid's quarter-final first leg win at Juventus has been selected first ahead of Bale's similar effort in Saturday's final against Liverpool.

Bale scored with a spectacular acrobatic volley just two minutes after coming off the bench for Madrid, reacting brilliantly to divert Marcelo's cross into Loris Karius' top corner with a flailing left boot.

The goal was described by Gary Neville as 'maybe the best he'd ever seen' but Ronaldo's strike at the Allianz Stadium has been deemed better by UEFA's panel.

Ronaldo's overhead kick from Dani Carjvaval's cross was a similarly acrobatic strike but with a lower trajectory and more power, that sailed past Juventus No 1 Gianluigi Buffon leaving the legendary goalkeeper no chance.

His strike garnered a similar reaction with many hailing it as the greatest Champions League goal of all time ahead of Zinedine Zidane's volley in the 2002 final.

The rankings are determined by a six-man committee of UEFA Technical Observers that include ex-Manchester United boss David Moyes, former Inter Milan defender Christian Chivu and current Latvia manager Mixu Paatelainen.

Ronaldo and Bale finished first and second respectively ahead of Gonzalo Higuain's volley from a free-kick for Juventus against Tottenham in the round of 16.

Antoine Griezmann's bicycle kick for Atletico Madrid against Roma in the group stage is fourth while Edin Dzeko's powerful volley for Roma at Chelsea at the same stage comes fifth in the list.

Ronaldo and Bale both have a second goal included in the list. Bale's side-footed volley away at Borussia Dortmund comes sixth while Ronaldo's curling effort in the home game against the Germans is 10th.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Fred's free-kick for Shakhtar Donetsk against Roma in the last 16 is seventh while Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne earns eighth spot for a long-range strike against the Ukrainians Shakhtar.

Why Ronaldo come appear twice?

Really? .. I would have expected Bale to top this, scoring that type of goal at the final event takes a lot of balls!

Zizou was like..

& sooo

they say he is a tap-ins master yet he is collecting all the awards and records
The goal that turned almighty Buffon to Enyeama deserves more than that award.
Lest I forget, Liverpool is the worst club in the top 7 English table.

All the Barca, Juventus, Bayern fans hiding inside Liverpool jersey to insult Ramos and Ronaldo, both of them said I should give you this

Ojoro!!!

I read that both acrobatic comes at the same time

What of Bale too

Ojoro. Bale deserves it.

I will take Bale's goal!!!

If nor be partial what is the difference between CR7 and Bale

why always CR7

It's justifiable.. The goal was scored against a top team, with a legendary goalkeeper in goal post.

Before ko
He is Mr Champions League
The world footballer of the year 2018


UEFA champions league shall be called CR7 Champions League

Or

C.Ronaldo's champion League

Why Ronaldo come appear twice?

cos u no sabi anything

C-baba the world best...

For those questioning cr7 goal. You should understand the height he reached to strike that ball. Bale's goal is impressive because it was done in the final but in all cr7 eclipsed it

We didn't expect less.

Still looking for Messi on the ranking!!!

Bale's was the best.

nonsense!
what of Salah's goals against Roma and Porto?

Bale was better

Ronaldo's body was more parallel to the ground than Bale's otherwise, Bale had more power, beat more ppl apart from GK and the distance was a bit more than Ronaldo's.
But you know they need to keep keeping him happy
