A Premier League focus battle that ended this morning, Manchester United won 3-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, and Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the Premier League for the first time in 14 years, helping the team score a key 3 points. After scoring a hat-trick in this match, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 807 goals in his career, which has made him the top scorer in the history of professional football after surpassing the legendary Hungarian goalscorer Bikan (805 goals).
The merlot era has passed, and even become a cancer on their respective teams has been heard lately, and C Ronaldo used a hat-trick to tell everyone that their time is still there!
"Without him, United wouldn't even think about a draw"
In the past week, Ronaldo's situation at Manchester United has been quite tricky, and in the focus battle with Manchester City in the last round, Lonnick announced that Ronaldo was injured and could not play. But some news showed that the manager did not include Ronaldo in the starting lineup, which frustrated him and then flew back to Portugal.
In the eyes of many media, the contradiction between C Ronaldo and Lonnick has been irreconcilable, and even began to speculate on when C Ronaldo is ready to leave Old Trafford - on the field, he has not scored as many as 6 rounds. Just when everyone thought that Lianpo was old, C Luo once again stood up.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a beautiful long-range shot in the 12th minute to help United lead. Tottenham Hotspur scored a penalty in the 34th minute by captain Kane to tie the score. However, just 4 minutes later, C Ronaldo received Sancho's wonderful pass and easily pushed the goal, once again helping the "Red Devils" to reverse the score. In the 72nd minute, Maguire accidentally swung himself when tackling the ball in the box, and the two teams drew again. At the crucial moment, C Ronaldo showed his heroic nature again, in the 81st minute, the Portuguese star jumped high in the penalty area to head the goal, the ball was hanging straight into the dead corner, and Manchester United won the game 3-2. No wonder Tottenham boss Conte said unconvincingly, "Without Ronaldo, United wouldn't even think about a draw!" ”

Cristiano Ronaldo himself was unusually excited, writing on social media, "I'm very happy with my first hat-trick since I returned to Old Trafford!" There's nothing better than coming back on the pitch and helping the team with hard work and goals! Once again, we proved ourselves that we can beat any team at any time, as long as we work hard and are united. Manchester United have no limits! Anyway, come on, Red Devils! ”
Neville re-praised Cristiano Ronaldo as a superstar
It is time to say goodbye to the era when Merlez was the protagonist, a tone that has been heard in European football lately.
Before the midweek Champions League match, Sky Sports england did a pre-match program dedicated to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Former England defender Carragher's view is that although Messi just won the Ballon d'Or last year, he is afraid that it will be the last time everyone will see Mero win an important trophy. Gary Neville echoed, "If you ask someone to 'pick the player you want most to join the team,' the answer now won't be Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Mbappe, Haland, Salah or Lewandowski, for the first time in many years." ”
According to Carragher, C Ronaldo's performance is actually quite good, and it is incredible that he can score for Manchester United many times at the age of 37, but the problem is that everyone will compare the previous C Ronaldo with the current C Ronaldo, which naturally feels quite bad. And this sentence is expressed in another direction, that is, everyone knows that the Portuguese are indeed old.
However, after the game this morning, the opponent's head coach Conte said personally, "Ronaldo and Messi are two of the best players in world football." Previously this honor belonged to Maradona and Pele, but now it's Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who can always decide the game. ”
Gary Neville also changed his mouth convincingly, "C Ronaldo's confidence, he has come to the end of his career, but he is definitely phenomenal. A superstar of modern football, one of the best in history, the greatest goalscorer of all time. ”

What about Messi's side? His performance in the Champions League did not meet expectations, and the defeat against Real Madrid had a big impact on him. But people who know him reveal that Messi is happy in Paris and has left his mark. Messi has a 1-year contract with extra options, after the Copa America, he is looking forward to this year's World Cup, Paris can provide him with a high level of environment, there is no need to leave early.
Yes, this is the ultimate double pride that has dominated the football world for more than a decade. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have never been players who give up easily. After struggling with their performance in recent times, they have once again proved that they are far from being the "past tense".
