Cristiano Ronaldo has built a reputation as one of the world’s premier free-kick takers.
Ronaldo scored 13 free-kicks while at Manchester United, 32 when he moved to Real Madrid and a couple at Juventus as well Real Madrid.
The Portuguese captain had a chance to score his ninth free-keek with his national side on Wednesday night but his effort left a lot to be desired.
Ronaldo had already scored for Portugal against Israel but had the opportunity to double his tally when his side won a free-kick a few yards outside the box.
The Juventus star to his place behind the ball and assumed his trademark stance with the air of a man who was about to produce some magic. What followed, however, was atrocious.
Ronaldo skied the effort which would probably still not have gone in if five goals were stacked on top of the first.

This miss led to some pretty brutal trolling on Twitter.
