Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, whom Ronaldo has beaten with nine of past 11 shots on target, called his conqueror an "extraordinary champion ... to be compared to Maradona and Pele."
Zidane himself, scorer of another from the pantheon of great goals 16 years ago in the Champions League final for Real against Bayer Leverkusen, said "he's a different player to everyone else."
But, asked whose famous goal tops the lot, the Real Madrid boss was less effusive.
"Oh mine!" laughed Zidane. "Definitely mine."

Got to agree with Zizou - that volley was ridiculous considering the ball was dropping down from about 40 yards up https://t.co/8ZKoptEL2y— Patrick SC (@PSungCuadrado) April 4, 2018
I loved the Zidane volley and it was in a more important game but it didn't have the same "Wow" factor as Ronaldo's overhead, imo (ducks for cover) https://t.co/HYRb1gj2Ne— Alex Thomas (@alexthomascnn) April 4, 2018
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS ?
