In the early morning of March 16, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals began to compete. Manchester United met Atletico Madrid at home, and after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Manchester United lost to their opponents by a score of 0-1, and Manchester United were eliminated 1-2 on aggregate in two legs, missing the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.
As the king of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo set a new Champions League record in this game. After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Casillas with 15,909 minutes of playing time to become the player with the most appearances in the history of the Champions League.
Despite setting a new Champions League record in this match, Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to turn the tide in this match against Atletico. Compared to the performance of the previous hat-trick, this game C Ronaldo rarely did not have a shot in the game. This is the third time in his career that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 0 shots in a single game in the Champions League, with the first two games appearing in 2003 and 2011.
Ronaldo, who has won the Champions League five times, has missed the quarterfinals of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. With being eliminated in the Champions League, Ronaldo is likely to face a situation of four empty this season. In the English League Cup and FA Cup, they have lost the title competition and have been eliminated in the Champions League. At present, the only hope comes from the Premier League, but the 20-point gap behind Manchester City has left Ronaldo's Premier League title only theoretical possibility.
Due to the change in the rules of the previous Golden Globe Awards, it is likely to encounter four empty C Ronaldo this season, and the hope of impacting this year's Golden Globe Awards has been very slim.
After Manchester United are eliminated, there are two very important games waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo, next week Cristiano Ronaldo will lead Portugal to the World Cup play-offs, whether the 37-year-old can stand on the Stage of the World Cup again depends on these two games.
