In this hour-long documentary, the then-Real Madrid star was tested on many aspects of his soccer skills. These hard tests were designed to test Ronaldo’s body strengths, mental ability, technique, and skills.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored in pitch dark

One of the more unique challenges Ronaldo was presented with was scoring in the dark. A cross was played toward Ronaldo and just before the ball left the foot, lights were turned off. When the lights got turned back on, the ball was in the back of the net. Ronaldo had scored with his chest in pitch black.

Ronaldo’s original plan was to head the ball into the goal. However, he ended up flicking the ball with his shoulder, which sent it into the net. Andy Ansah, a soccer consultant, and former soccer star, was the one who booted the ball and guided Ronaldo through all the tests.
