No one was surprised when Cristiano Ronaldo was slotted into the fifth slot during the penalty shootout at the end of the UEFA Champions League final. And when Atlético Madrid defender Juanfran missed his fourth take, Real Madrid's superstar was set up for a walk-off moment. Guess what he did?
Cristiano Ronaldo told Zinedine Zidane he ‘had a vision’ of scoring the Champions League winner
Zizou probably would have let him be the fifth penalty taker anyway, but this is still cool.

No surprise there, but what he said after the game was pretty funny.
“I had a vision,” Ronaldo said. “I knew that I would score the winning goal ... I told Zizou that and to let me take the fifth and that’s how it turned out.”
Zinedine Zidane probably would have let him take the decisive penalty even if Ronaldo didn’t have that vision, but we guess it’s a good thing he did.
