The last time Manchester United managed to dominate the Champions League was in 2008. Back then, they beat another English team Chelsea 6-5 on penalties in the final, with the match ending 1-1 in normal time.
Cristiano Ronaldo also played for Manchester that time, but a year later he moved to Real Madrid. Into “his” Manchester United this summer and the management is expecting a lot from his return. And it seems that winning the Champions League might not be an unrealistic goal.
Ronadlo won’t be alone. In fact, the summer also saw the arrival of Jadon Sancho, who represents huge potential for the club in the years to come, and experienced stopper Raphael Varane, who should help bolster the defensive line.
With all the reinforcements, Manchester played a league match on Saturday, in which they beat Newcastle 4-1. Cristiano Ronaldo was a big contributor, scoring the first two goals of the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo is in very good form at the moment, which can also be said about the rest of the United squad. They deservedly lead the Premier League table after the opening four rounds.
Given the current state of mind and the great strength of the squad, Manchester United should have only the highest goals. And winning the Champions League should be one of them.
