Cristiano Ronaldo step overs are well known. Everyone has seen Ronaldo do one or two or three step overs. However, as a defender, even though you might know what’s coming, it is hard to stop Ronaldo from going past you.
At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo has still got it. Ronald just loves to play soccer and still pulls out a few of his tricks from time to time. Here Ronaldo shows off his trademarked step over moves once again. The poor Turkish defender Abdülkerim Bardakcı ends up nearly doing the splits. Bardakcı is left for dead, as they say.

Ronaldo’s feet are just so quick. He dances on the soccer ball, really. Which way is he going to go? It all happens so fast when he’s driving at a defender like this. One versus one with no support behind you is not a spot a defender wants to be in with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Famously, Manchester United’s legendary manger Alex Ferguson tried to prepare eighteen year old Ronaldo for the tough tackles that would come if he did too many tricks and step overs in the English Premier League.
Ronaldo even tripped over himself doing too many step overs one time.
Ferguson let Manchester United players like Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand roughen up Ronaldo a bit with a hard tackle from time to time.
Ronaldo learned quickly but still played his game. Moreover, becoming one of the greatest footballers of all time. He embarrassed plenty of defenders with his step overs in his career. And here, at Euro 2024, he’s still doing his step over moves with success.
Cristiano Ronaldo step overs show he’s still playing at the highest of levels. If he can help Portugal win the Euro 2024 tournament it will be icing on the cake of an amazing soccer career.
