He said, “You have to practice these otherwise you can break your back or land on your neck, because you are so high up.
“You have to have really good technique, not just to get up and get the contact, but to land it. You have to have all this in your mind and compute this within a millisecond.”
Ronaldo also made two assists against Juventus in the Tuesday Champions League match
‘Amost impossible’
Juventus 0-3 Real Madrid
According to Juve boss Max Allegri: “There is absolutely nothing to blame the boys for. We faced an extraordinary team with probably the best player in the world.
“Now we raise our heads, we think about the future and the league.
“For the first hour we also made a good game. But everything happened against us. They are really devastating, otherwise they would not have won so much in the last few years.
“Now it’s almost impossible.”

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon: “Ronaldo is an extraordinary champion, together with Lionel Messi he is the only one that punctuates his team’s most important victories, and is to be compared to Maradona and Pele.
“We were playing against incredible champions.
“There is great regret and it will not be possible to go forward in this event, for me it is a great regret but against certain opponents it takes a clear examination: they are objectively stronger.”
‘It was almost perfect’
Juventus 0-3 Real Madrid
More from Zinedine Zidane: “Juve had chances to score but didn’t take them. We had to dig in, as you’d expect but we played some great football.
“Yes it was almost perfect, that’s what he can do. That’s why he stands out from the others. He can do incredible things.”

Cristiano Ronaldo (3 mins)
Ridiculous…
You may have heard of this guy, as Cristiano Ronaldo scores for a ninth straight game for Real! He’s scored in every game in the competition and that’s another clinical strike.
Juve are a mess at the back though as Isco has the freedom of the left wing, looks up and picks out the great man, who slams a toe-poke into the top corner!

Pre Match Report Below
Zinedine Zidane has had to make one of the toughest team selections of his coaching career and he has ultimately opted to start Isco against Juventus and play the same lineup as he did in Cardiff.
With 10 players essentially considered automatic starters for the big matches, there was just one spot up for grabs in midfield and Isco, Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez all jostling for it.
The full Real Madrid XI for tonight’s match in Turin is, therefore, as follows: Keylor Navas; Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric; Isco; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema.
Real Madrid travel to Turin with one place in the starting line-up unclear, and former Juventus midfielder Mauro Camoranesi has given his take on who he thinks who should get the nod.
Having twice knocked Los Blancos out of the Champions League as a player, he knows what it takes to succeed over two legs.
“If I was Juventus coach, I’d prefer Isco not to play, but any of them are great players, it’s a problem,” he explained.
“You can’t only focus on Cristiano Ronaldo, obviously he is the emblematic figure for what he represents, but you can’t relax at set pieces with Sergio Ramos in the middle and many other players who can score from distance.”
That is in comparison to Juventus, who lack the stand out superstar that is so clear in Zinedine Zidane’s team.
“Maybe Juventus haven’t had an emblematic player like Neymar, [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano in recent years, Zidane was the last player of that type that Juventus had,” he said.
“However, what sums up Juventus is that they make teams, not ten players and one star.
“Juventus always have a style which maybe isn’t great to watch, but in the last few years they’ve been one of the best teams in Europe.
“Many people don’t know why, but it’s no coincidence.”
Camoranesi also reflected on the past battles between the teams, which he relished in his successful trips to Madrid as a player.
“Juventus vs Real Madrid is always a very attractive game, with two opposing styles and a lot of quality on the pitch,” the 41-year-old analysed.
“They are clashed which I found stimulating, looking at the time when they start.
“There’s nothing new to discover between the teams. Individual players will be key to deciding the tie.”
Camoranesi retired in 2014, four years after ending an eight year spell at Juventus, and has recently coached in Mexico, taking charge of Coras de Tepic, Tigre and Tapachula.
GOAL! JUVENTUS 0-3 REAL MADRID (Marcelo 72)
This tie might be over. Juventus fans are heading for the exits.
It’s a brilliant goal from Real which is started by Marcelo on the left side. Isco and Ronaldo are both involved and the ball is slipped through the middle for Marcelo, who chips over Buffon and then finishes from a few yards out.
