VIDEO: Ronaldo suffers major malfunction with trademark step-over trick

He loves his lollipops

We’ve all been there.

You’re faced with that fullback who stole the ball off you the last time  you zipped down the wing and you think that if you do a little shimmy, flick the ball between your legs you’ll buy the yard of space you need to whip that ball into the box.

Hell it always works in Fifa and that’s based on real life, right?!

That’s in your head of course but the unfortunately your legs don’t get those messages and you stumble off the ball as the defender waltzes away with the ball like the five-a-side version of Franz Beckenbauer.

We thought it only happened to us but thankfully Ronaldo has proved that even the mighty fall sometimes as he tried to take on a Shaktar defender tonight and fell flat on his face.
