Cristiano Ronaldo produced his 'best ever' post-match interview following Manchester United's win over Middlesbrough back in 2007.
Ronaldo dropped an iconic post-match interview after he scored the winner to send Man United through to the FA Cup semi-final, 15 years ago.
He converted a 76th minute penalty after being tripped from behind by Boro defender Jonathan Woodgate.

The Portuguese forward, just 22 at the time, smashed home the spot kick, but the decision to award the penalty in the first place angered the away team.
Geoff Shreeves pressed Ronaldo on the controversy surrounding the penalty, but the Man United star brilliantly batted away the 'cheating' accusations in a great post-match interview.
"For me, it's a penalty. Maybe someone doesn’t like me because I'm too good?" He said.
Man United fans loved Ronaldo's confident reaction to Shreeves' grilling.

One YouTuber user wrote: "Cristiano Ronaldo’s best ever interview. Absolute Legend."
A second wrote: "He's oozing confidence in that interview that most people could only dream of."
A third added: "Everyone says he’s so cocky and arrogant for saying these things, but the things he says are true whether you like it or not."
Man United went onto beat Watford to book their spot in the FA Cup final.

But they lost to Chelsea, succumbing to a late goal by Didier Drogba.
The Red Devils will be hoping to go one better this season as they host Boro tonight for a spot in the next round of the competition.
Ronaldo could feature with Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood unavailable.
