Cristiano Ronaldo Pulls Off Classic Skill Before Fooling Player With No Look Pass

One aspect of Cristiano Ronaldo's game that has changed over the years are his skills.

The five-time Ballon d'Or rarely attempts a stepover or a fancy flick anymore, like he did so often at Manchester United and Real Madrid.

But the 34-year-old pulled out a couple of classics during Juventus' pre-season game against Inter Milan.

Ronaldo pulled off not one, but two pieces of sublime skill when he came up against midfielder Marcelo Brozovic on Wednesday afternoon.

It didn't take long for the Juventus forward to get on the scoresheet, either.

He cancelled out Matthijs de Ligt's own goal with a second half deflected free-kick to send the game to penalties.

Juventus went on to win the shoot-out thanks to three saves from veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who also proved he's still got it in the pre-season win.

As mentioned earlier, Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt scored an unfortunate own goal against Inter.

The 19-year-old, who made his debut on Sunday as a second-half substitute against Tottenham, was given a first start by Maurizio Sarri.

But in the 10th minute, his luck went from bad to worse in the famous black and white.

Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi whipped the ball in from a corner and a flick on from Roberto Gagliardini wrong footed de Ligt.

The ball rebounded off his shin and into the net, leaving goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny helpless between the sticks.

Can Juventus win the Serie A title again this season?
