One of Cristiano Ronaldo’s craziest records just got broken, and today I want to point out exactly why it’s so impressive… In 2018, Ronaldo’s Champions League bicycle kick vs Juventus was measured at a whopping 2.38 meters (7 ft 10 inches), making it the highest overhead kick in football history. After 7 years, it was finally broken this week by Paul Onuachu, which is actually extremely interesting. The Nigerian forward stands at 6’7″, making him one of the tallest professional footballers on the planet. Despite Ronaldo being 6 feet tall, he was able to hold the record due to one of his most superhuman abilities: jumping.
Ronaldo’s vertical was measured at 42 inches, a full foot higher than the average NBA player. If you study his record-breaking bicycle kick up close, you can see that his torso alone is 1.5 meters off the ground (5 ft.) Though CR7’s overhead kick record was officially broken, the Portuguese legend still holds the record for highest recorded jump in football history — 2.93 meters (9 ft 7 inches) — showing his unique combination of flexibility and strength, the likes of which we’ve never seen in football before! #football #soccer #ronaldo #sports #futbol #cristianoronaldo #athlete #skills #fifa #worldcup #goat #messi #strength #gym #cr7 #futebol #footballshorts #interestingfacts #sport #respect #championsleague #realmadrid
One of Ronaldo’s craziest records was just broken. And the fact that he even held it defies the laws of science. You probably remember this goal, Ronaldo’s iconic overhead kick versus Juventus in the Champions League. His foot reached 2.38 m, officially making it the highest bicycle kick in football history. This week, Paul Onu reached 2.41 m on his overhead kick, which just goes to show how crazy Ronaldo’s record actually is. This guy’s 6’7, one of the tallest pro footballers on the planet. If you look closely, he didn’t even jump. It’s basically all flexibility. Ronaldo is 6′ flat, still tall, but you’d think the record would be held by someone taller. The difference is his jump. Ronaldo’s vertical is 42 in, a foot higher than the average NBA player, which is pretty clear when you look at his record. He is so high off the ground before he even touches the ball. To this day, Ronaldo has the highest recorded jump in football history. 2.93 meters with a hang time of 1 and a half seconds.

It's not about record it's about beauty and consistency. This new player doesn't as well known as him or all-over good player. So its matter.
