Chronicle A brave Atlético runs out of steam against a United with one more march
Direct Narration and Statistics
The lawnmower The richest dastardly club in the world
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.
