Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest recorded jump in football history.

Sky Sport Italia produced a list of football’s highest jumps in the aftermath of Victor Osimhen’s incredible headed goal on Sunday.

Osimhen hung in air to head home for Napoli against Monza on Sunday, leaping to a height of 2.23 metres in the 4-2 win.

However, this sensational leap isn’t Osimhen’s highest jump, which was 2.58m for his goal against Spezia last season.

That jump was the fifth highest recorded jump in football history.

Ronaldo dominates the top 10 list, with five of the 10 highest jumps ever.
