Cristiano Ronaldo perfectly flips water bottle in new skills video to reignite rivalry with NBA star Dwyane Wade

Cristiano Ronaldo has reignited his rivalry with Chicago Bulls shooting guard Dwyane Wade after releasing another trick shot video.

Wade originally challenged the Real Madrid star to battle of skills earlier this year after scoring a basket blindfolded in a video for Pokerstars.

The NBA legend challenged Ronaldo to 'raise it' and the Portuguese forward promptly responded with a skills video of his own.

Never one to stay out of the limelight, Ronaldo has returned again with a second video - this time displaying his ability with his hands, rather than his feet.

The 31-year-old starts the video by controlling a football on his head but, rather than performing tricks, he drops it and instead grabs a water bottle. 

He then proceeds to flip the bottle so that it lands suspiciously upright by his camera at the first time of asking.

Ronaldo added: 'Flip on the first try, @dwyanewade. Don't start what you can't finish'

Ronaldo took to social media to post the video along with the caption: 'Flip on the first try, @dwyanewade. Don't start what you can't finish.'

Ronaldo is currently the odds-on favourite to win the Ballon d'Or next week after a remarkable year for both club and country. 

The former Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon winger helped guide Real Madrid to victory in the Champions League last season, before leading Portugal to a shock triumph at Euro 2016 in France.
