Ronaldo's leaping header against Sampdoria while playing for Juventus back then in Serie A was just over 2.5 metres, even then, it was still historic.
However, Morocco's Youseff En-Nesyri, the hero of the entire African continent and the Arab world because his goal against Portugal made the Atlas Lion the first African and Arab Nation to qualify for the semi-final of the FIFA world cup also created another history with his leap which was 2.78 metres, thereby surpassing Ronaldo's record of 2.5 metres.
For a player who prior to the world cup was not having a good season at Sevilla in Spain, yet he already has two goals in this world cup, but none can be as significant as the one that knocked out Portugal even with their most illustrious son , CR7 coming on as a substitute.
