Cristiano Ronaldo - performances 2017/18

A few headers like that next week would be fine.
 
This quote has been attributed to Ronaldo after the Clasico.

“How am I supposed to celebrate when the person who taught me to play football is suffering in the hospital?”
Do it for Sir Alex.... PLEASE!!!!!!!
 
So is his Balon d'Or 2018 really a sure thing? He has been naff since that overhead kick and looked an old man.
 
Non-existant in the semis, non-existant in the final. Another Balon d'Or incoming :rolleyes:
 
He’ll win the BalonDor now, if Messi don’t win World Cup. Which doesn’t feel right after how he played tonight and how he played pre new year. Crazy.
 
That might have been the worst I've ever seen him played.

He looked a second slow in everything he was doing.

I don't think so, his all-round performances haven't been at a high enough level throughout the season. Others may disagree with that, but that aside, the WC may decide which player gets it.
 
I struggle to like Ronaldo despite all he offered us. Biggest ego in world football. Could have won a lot with us. 3 CLs in a row but he fecked off. Can’t say he was wrong after tonight but don’t adore him like seemingly most United fans.
 
Who cares? He’s got another CL to his name and liverpool can feck OFF
 
Normally a CL win would strengthen him as a favourite for Ballon d'Or, but he was fecking useless tonight. Think the World Cup is going to be huge - in my eyes, it's an open playing field for the Ballon d'Or.

Great January-March, has been pretty non-existent since.

Impressive to get another CL though.

Yeah would agree. Whoever has the strongest world cup out of Salah, Messi and Ronaldo should decide it.
 
One thing is for sure. "Everything after United is downhill" is a laughable joke. He would maybe have one CL under his belt if he played for us. We are useless in Europe for a giant club.
 
Ronaldo is the reason Real are in this final, he should be holding that trophy with more pride.

I dont think anyone actually says that?
 
Speculation that he's just announced that he's leaving Madrid. For what that's worth (probably not much).
 
Criticism for him in here is ridiculous. People have such short memories and are going overboard with their analysis on tonight’s performance. He wasn’t brilliant, but he was far from awful.

It's all relative. The best players are held to higher standards. Going by that, yes he was awful.
 
This is his usual sort of game only difference is he didn't get on the end of something
 
Only player in world football with standards this high to cause such a reaction after his team win a game. Scored goals at a better rate than anyone in world football at 33 years old.

Madrid have had a better season than Barcelona in 5 of the 9 years he's been there now. 5 CL titles, only Gento has more. Only Milan and Madrid have more.
 
Rushed back from that injury he picked up against Barca? Pretty abysmal tonight.

Still, he ends the season with his 5 CL and another 15 CL goals. Freak.
 
Pretty telling words from him now. It seems that Real really have an end of a generation moment here.
