On February 16, Beijing time, the 18th round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Brighton, C Ronaldo made his debut, and finally scored the first goal of the New Year, ending the longest goal drought in 13 years!

In the face of controversy and criticism, the only thing C Ronaldo has to do is to respond with actions! Against Brighton, he continued to start and in the 51st minute before entering the box, he scored with his right foot to make it 1-0! Manchester United take the lead.
The data shows that first, this is Ronaldo's first goal in 2022, finally breaking the goal drought of up to 6 games! The last time I scored was on December 31, 2021.
Second, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored for 21 consecutive calendar years, the first in 2002, when he was still playing at Sporting Portugal.
Third, the president has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season, has scored 15+ goals for 16 consecutive seasons, is prolific and stable, and he is also United's top scorer in the game.
