At 22:00 Beijing time on December 13, the 2021-22 Champions League quarterfinal draw was re-played in UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. In the end, Ronaldo's Manchester United, the opponent in the round of 16, changed from Paris Saint-Germain to Atletico Madrid. Although Atletico is a La Liga champion, compared to the greater Paris, Manchester United's signing luck has undoubtedly improved a lot, because Cristiano Ronaldo is a well-deserved Atletico "nemesis".
During his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has played Atletico 35 times for Real Madrid and Juve, and President Luo has knocked on Atletico's goal 25 times. In addition to Sevilla, who have scored 27 goals by Cristiano Ronaldo, it is necessary to count atletico Madrid, who have scored the most goals by Portuguese superstars. Of those 25 goals, Ronaldo scored a total of 4 hat-tricks. Two of them are in the Champions League and twice in La Liga.
Especially in the Champions League, Atletico can be said to be Ronaldo's favorite opponent. As a strong team in La Liga, Atletico performed well in the Champions League but never won the title, and the important reason is thanks to Ronaldo. In two Champions League finals, Cristiano Ronaldo led Real Madrid to victory over Atletico, including a 4-1 extra time win and a penalty win. In addition, in the quarter-finals of the 2014-15 Champions League, Ronaldo led Real Madrid to a small 1-0 victory over Atletico to advance.
The most popular encounter for C Ronaldo fans is the quarter-final of the Champions League in 2018-19. At that time, Ronaldo had already transferred from Real Madrid to Juve, but he still did not change the true color of "Atletico Killer". In the first leg, Juve lost 2-0 away to Atletico, and the complacent Atletico boss Simeone made a provocative crotch touch when celebrating the victory.
As a result, in the second leg of the two sides, C Ronaldo staged a Jedi counterattack, achieved a 3-0 victory, and finally advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 3-2. While celebrating the victory, C Ronaldo reproduced Simeone's crotch touching, and he treated him the way he treated him. Now that three seasons have passed, Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United. And this time he meets Simeone's Atletico again, so will the 36-year-old President Luo continue his previous brilliant performance against Atletico?
