This shot by Ronaldo in the Clubs World Cup has been going all over the world. imo it is a bit ridiculous to give that much attention to a shot that was not even a goal but people nowadays give excessive credit to popular players. I wasn't planning to do a thread about it basically because it is not worth it, its just a missed shot; but recently Ive seen tons of discussions regarding Ronaldo being disrespectful or something along that line for trying this shot when it was clearly not necessary. Even an argument between Guti and a famous Latin American commentator Raul Orvañanos went viral because during the transition of the match he called Ronaldo a "clown" for trying that.

I was really hoping for you guys to give your opinions on this matter.
Can it be compared with Balotelli's similar trick shot when playing for City?
