Cristiano Ronaldo

is one of the great nightmares in the history of

Atlético de Madrid

.

He scored in the

Champions League

final in

Lisbon

2014, in

Milan

2016, scored

three

in the first leg of

the 17-18

semi -finals at the

Bernabéu

and another

three

in the second leg

of the 18-19

round of 16 in

Turin

with Juventus

, they have scored

25

goals

in 35 games, they have won

17 games

... But in European competition

, Calderón and Metropolitano

They have never been quite good at it.

In five visits,

he has never scored

, which being Cristiano Ronaldo,

Mister Champions League

, the competition's all-time top scorer, is quite convincing.

Far from the rojiblanco environment, yes, in his empire the sun does not set.

Neither this season.

He came to last night's duel after having scored

six goals in five games

played, a statistical outrage at

37 years old

.

But, again, the home of Atlético de Madrid.

As in the two visits he made as a Juventus player, the Metropolitan did not forget his past.

He was once again

public enemy number one

, the one who received the most boos and the center of all the screams and insults from the fans.

He, who enjoys the most anticlimactic contexts, suffered.

Joao's '7' and the 'CR island'

The current Manchester United has more names than footballers, a serious problem to aspire to win the Champions League, the primary objective of a Cristiano who is looking for his

sixth orejona

, like

Paco Gento

, the sixth ring, like

Michael Jordan

.

Summit number of any sport.

On the lawn of the Metropolitano, the Portuguese striker saw one of the best performances of his compatriot

Joao Félix

's career .

The '7' of Atlético de Madrid, Portuguese, scored 1-0 in the 7th minute and reached

7 goals

in 19 games.

A curious detail having one of his idols in front of him, but unimportant in the middle of the impotence of the

red devils

, far from the level expected in a tie, especially in the first half.

Cristiano 's first shot was several meters away from

Oblak

in the

36th minute

.

Symptomatic of the loneliness of the attacker at the tip of the English attack.

Angry with the referee

, with the rivals and with his teammates, he barely touched a ball.

After the break, United woke up just enough to put some fear into the rojiblanco body, but without putting the ball near the feet of their best scorer.

He had no chances.

A

free kick on the edge of the area

in the 79th minute was his best option.

He took the steps, as always, took a deep breath, as always, and sent her to the clouds, as rarely.

Moments later he celebrated with his teammates

Elanga's goal

that kept him alive for the second leg.

The last time Atlético visited Cristiano's house, in 2019 in Turin, it ended in a

hattrick

.

Now Old Trafford awaits.
