Real Madrid star Ronaldo scores perfect nutmeg.

There's very little as satisfying when playing football as getting the chance to shout 'megs' after poking the ball through your opponent's legs and collecting it the other side.

So we can only hope that Cristiano Ronaldo shouted it after pulling off one of the most beautiful nutmegs that you could imagine even the Real Madrid superstar pulling off.


Of course as they're the best thing to manage to pull off they're also the worst thing to be on the receiving end of, especially if your mate has been trying to get you the entire game.

It must have been joy unconfined for Cristiano Ronaldo and frustration of the highest order for Espanyol's David Lopez this afternoon:

Unfortunately for Ronaldo the wonderful piece of skill didn't lead to a goal.

Los Blancos did take the lead in the first half however when Isco set up long term Chelsea target Alvaro Morata to score.

So far this season Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 16 La Liga appearances.

Nutmegs like that should just count as goals anyway.

What's the most embarrassing that can happen on a football pitch?
