Peter Crouch's response to Ronaldo's bicycle kick has gone viral

Can't tell if supportive or trolling...

Bicycle kicks: they're flash, but when they work dear God are they sweet.

If you missed Ronaldo's bicycle kick goal against Juventus on Tuesday, take a minute to watch it.

So good that even the Juventus fans gave him a standing ovation.

Many people were thrilled by the goal, but Stoke striker Peter Crouch took the opportunity to remind people of a similar goal he scored in 2006 while at Liverpool.

This sparked some lively discussion of the comparative merit of bicycle kicks.

They're both acrobats, let's leave it at that.
