When you've scored a remarkable 300 goals for Manchester United and Real Madrid combined - and such a high number have been eye-catching ones - it can be impossible to select a top ten of the best.
But, to get you in the mood for Cristiano Ronaldo's reunion with his old club in the Champions League on Wednesday, we've selected five of his best for United and five moments of brilliance for Real.
Sit back and enjoy!
Familiar faces: Cristiano Ronaldo goes into Wednesday night's Champions League reunion with old club Manchester United in excellent form, having scored a hat-trick against Sevilla at the weekend
FIVE BEST GOALS FOR MANCHESTER UNITED
Free-kick v Portsmouth - January 30, 2008 (Premier League)
Ronaldo was at his effervescent best so often during this season of 42 goals that it's hard to pick out a strike that was truly superlative.
But this stunning free-kick is the one that many would point to not only for this Champions League-winning year but his six years at Old Trafford as a whole.
To have the audacity to take on a goalkeeper of the experience of David James from 30 yards and to have the ability to get the ball up and over the wall so powerfully truly mark the player out.
It was by no means a one-off either - Ronaldo has scored from similar free-kicks at both United and Real.

40-yard missile v Porto - April 15, 2009 (Champions League)
United were in a spot of bother in their defence of the Champions League, having drawn 2-2 at Old Trafford against their conquerors in 2004, Porto.
But Ronaldo decided to fight fire with fire early in the second leg, letting fly with an improbable shot from all of 40 yards.
Straight and true, his shot soared into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Helton with no chance despite being so far out.

How about that? Ronaldo's goal proved the match winner and United went through 3-2 on aggregate
Back heel v Aston Villa - March 29, 2008 (Premier League)
A goal of pure cheek set Man United on their way to a 4-0 victory as they hunted down the Premier League title.
A corner from Ryan Giggs dropped kindly in the penalty area off a Villa head and there was Ronaldo with a little flick of the boot to send the ball home.
Most players wouldn't have even thought of it...

Run and crucial goal v Fulham - February 24, 2007 (Premier League)
United have a well-known habit of scoring crucial goals late in games and Ronaldo contributed his fair share.
There were none greater than this 88th minute intervention at Craven Cottage, when his pace and stamina carried him along the touchline from halfway and his composed touch gave United a vital goal in the title race.
'It's all about Cristiano Ronaldo,' said commentator Andy Gray, summarising the whole season.

Free-kick v Arsenal - May 5, 2009 (Champions League)
Always reliable to produce a moment of genius in the biggest of games, Ronaldo helped tear apart Arsenal in this second leg of the Champions League semi-final in 2009.
Defending a slender 1-0 first-leg lead, Park Ji-Sung had doubled the advantage, before Ronaldo sealed the tie with one of his free-kick specials on 11 minutes.
With the Portuguese in this kind of form, there was simply no route back for the Gunners.

FIVE BEST GOALS FOR REAL MADRID
Back heel v Rayo Vallecano - February 26, 2012 (La Liga)
As Ronaldo ran away from goal with the ball after a Real corner cleared, the danger was over right?
Wrong. Always expect the unexpected, such as Ronaldo back heeling the ball through a mass of defenders and teammates to earn Real three crucial points for their title challenge.
Unexpected: There appeared to be no danger, but Ronaldo back heeled the ball home for the winner against Rayo Vallecano
Free-kick v Villarreal - February 21, 2010 (La Liga)
Given that we all know about Ronaldo's amazing free-kick ability, it's remarkable how helpless goalkeepers look when he hits one.
Take this one against Villarreal during his first season at Real Madrid and how it fizzes through the air to the top corner in the shortest possible route.
It was the first of a flurry of goals that night as Real ran out 6-2 winners.

Rocket shot v Osasuna - March 31, 2012 (La Liga)
As Ronaldo picks the ball up 40 yards from goal, the defenders start to back off, more worried about marking the Real players making runs.
Big mistake. With a laser-guided shot, Ronnie finds the top left corner and takes the breath away.

Run and goal v Villarreal - September 23, 2009 (La Liga)
There's no time like the present to score a goal and Ronaldo certainly wasn't hanging around in this match.
It took him just one minute 40 seconds to open the scoring against Villarreal, spinning away from his marker on the half-way line and then sprinting forward, cutting inside and firing a low shot into the bottom corner.
Flick, run and goal v Barcelona - August 28, 2012 (Spanish Super Cup)
The finish isn't as special as any of the others on this list, but the way Ronaldo makes Gerard Pique look like a schoolboy with a flick makes it worthy of inclusion.
His composure in front of goal, particularly in a Clasico match, is just another string to his bow.
Big game player: Ronaldo scored Real's second goal against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, second leg
