Cristiano Ronaldo came on and his team lost. Still, he made a beautiful gesture!
Cristiano Ronaldo has not had a successful Champions League debut since returning to Manchester United. The Red Devils dropped all 3 points in the last seconds at Young Boys Bern.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not had a successful Champions League debut since returning to Manchester United. The Red Devils dropped all 3 points in the last seconds at Young Boys Bern. However, the star Portuguese kept his bitterness at bay and made a beautiful gesture.
the 36-year-old forward came on in the 71st minute and was replaced by Jesse Lingard. The latter failed at the fateful moment and essentially assisted Bern’s decisive goal.
Social networks are of course having fun at the expense of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, but also at the expense of Lingard.
The miss was also celebrated by West Ham fans who are still hoping for Lingard’s return to the London Stadium. Could this be the signal United are happy to get rid of him? That’s the question, but now for the substance.
What gesture did Cristiano Ronaldo flash? The legendary Portuguese gave his jersey to one of the match officials after the game. See for yourself!
Why did this female official get the jersey? Because Ronado hit her with the ball, for which he apologized in this way.
Manchester United may be disappointed to lose, but Ronaldo has once again rewritten the historical tables. His goal against Young Boys means that he has already hit the net for 36 clubs in the Champions League (Lionel Messi has the same number).
Another interesting fact is that he has scored 63 goals in 68 games played in the millionaire competition since he turned 30, 35 more than the second highest goalscorer (only goals from the age of 30 upwards count).
