The Text Message Rooney Sent To Rio About Ronaldo's Goal Is Just Brilliant

Wayne Rooney is the latest player to react to Cristiano Ronaldo's ridiculous goal, and he's compared his overhead kick brilliance to the one on Tuesday night.

The Real Madrid superstar left fans in awe at the Juventus Stadium with a truly breathtaking goal.

After giving his side an early lead, he then doubled his sides advantage in unreal fashion. Ronaldo rose acrobatically to finish a sublime strike past the hapless Gianluigi Buffon.

Zinedine Zidane's reaction was priceless.

Florentino Perez a little bit more interesting. Even worrying.

But, what about Rooney who scored a similar goal in the Manchester derby?

Well, the former United striker texted Rio Ferdinand hilariously claiming it's a harder technique to do it off your shin.

Ronaldo's effort was so good even the home fans acknowledged it.
