Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo just hit a rocket of a free-kick at Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who just manages to block the effort.

There hasn’t been a single free-kick goal at the tournament thus far, despite 39 matches having already been completed, but CR7 nearly broke that curse with his rocketed effort.
