The official announcement has been missing and it finally came this Tuesday afternoon: Cristiano Ronaldo leave the Manchester Utdafter a stormy second period at the club of Old Trafford which has nothing to do with the splendor of the first. The definite break between the 37-year-old Portuguese striker and the ‘red devils’ certainly disappoints one of the most painful attractions of the previous relationship for european league that in February Man United and the FC Barcelonaa club where he had great sports matches when between 2009 and 2018 he was part of the ranks of real Madrid.
After the draw held in Nyon on November 7 and which paired two historic clubs who, among other historic clashes, have played in the past two Champions League finals (2009 and 2011) and a European Cup Winners’ Cup final (1991 ), then expect to see CR7 again at the Camp Nou. Wearing the United shirt, the Portuguese star has already played at the Camp Nou in the Champions League semifinal that in the 2007-08 season measured both teams and then missed a penalty that, however, did not prevent Manchester from being qualified for a final completed. up winning. On the other hand, the following year, in 2009, CR7’s Manchester lost the Champions League grand final against Barça, in a rivalry decided in Rome by goals from Samuel Eto’o Y Leo Messi.
In a statement released by Manchester United, it was officially announced that “Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United by mutual consent, with immediate effect. The club would like to thank him for his immense contribution during two spells at Old Trafford, who scored 145 goals in 346 appearances, and I wish him and his family the best for the future.” This is the expected epilogue after recent statements in which Cristiano Ronaldo shot down almost every living area at Od Trafford, from the coach Erik Tenhag in management, including club legends and former teammates such as wayme rooney.
The Barça-Manchester United from Thursday February 16th in Camp Nou (6:45 p.m.) It continues to be a rivalry worthy of the Champions League due to the greatness of both institutions, but it cannot be denied that Cristiano’s departure frustrates one of its attractions, such as presenting the clash as a rivalry of historic gunner, in the current Bota de Nagsal Robert Lewandowski in the range of Barcelona.
The meeting of lap will be held on Thursday February 23rd in Old Trafford (21 hours)because the order of the stadiums is given by the fact that the second classified in the Europa League started as seeded in the draw.
