Ronaldo scored twice to help his country to a 3-2 victory and qualification for next summer’s Euros.
However, it was an attempt on goal that went over the crossbar which had fans in awe.
After being picked out by a looping cross into the box, Ronaldo launched himself into the air for an acrobatic effort.
His bicycle kick almost found the target, narrowly flying over the goal and grazing the top of the net.
Reacting to footage of Ronaldo’s attempt, one fan joked: “I had trouble putting my socks on this morning and I’m only two years older than him.”
Another added: “Someone remind this guy he’s 38.”
A third fan commented: “My back hurts just looking at this and I’m nine years younger.”
Meanwhile, one more also wrote: “I really need to get back to the gym.”

Despite missing his acrobatic effort, Ronaldo still scored twice in a crucial win for Portugal.
In doing so, he took his goal tally for his country to 125 in 202 caps, extending his world record for the most international goals.
Prior to the match, the Al-Nassr forward was honoured to mark his first home international since winning his 200th cap for Portugal.
Friday’s win saw Portugal confirm their place at Euro 2024 in Germany.
Ronaldo will be 39 by the time the tournament starts next summer, but already has his sights on the 2026 World Cup.
He has reportedly confirmed to Portugal and Al-Nassr that he plans to play until the next World Cup, which will begin after he has turned 41.
Portugal were one of three countries to book their place at the Euros on Friday night.
Both Belgium and France also secured their spots, joining the hosts Germany as confirmed qualifiers.
