Cristiano Ronaldo’s balance against Spain: just a night of glory with a ‘hat trick’

On one night of glory for your marking notes, Cristiano Ronaldo He is already facing Spain 9 times with balance of 3 goals for Madeirense, all combined with World Cup in Russia of 2018.

Then the striker, which is a few days after the formalization of his march of Real Madrid To fly to TurinHe marked all the many Portugal to close a 3-3 at the first group phase assembly. A sin that remained for memory in a bad game of David de Gea.

However, that was just a good night for Portuguese compared to their performances in the remaining games against the Spaniards. Cristiano Ronaldo He did not manage to write the Spanish team until the rest of the hours he faced in various competitions.

Nor will I do it later, at least on Sunday, where you will have the opportunity to score in the end of the League of Nations so that Portuguese is done with their second title.

The first precedent in a good contest occurred in 2004, when Cristiano Ronaldo This is not CR7 yet. By 17 behind the rear (by sharing eleven in Figo), Portugal took 0-1 a stage group where Christian was replaced, without marking or attending, but helps pick up three points in the Peninsular Derby.

He also did not score or attend in 2010, at the World Cup in South Africa graduating Spain. At the first time, the 16th, Ronaldo did not defeat what would be the Spanish champion or knocked down a box that he would run later. In 2012, in particular.

Euro 2012, the next major contest where they will be together Spain and PortugalThe contest was placed in the semifinals between both teams, which for many was the early final. Only Portugal puts a serious problem in Spain, carrying it 0-0 in penalties, where Cristiano Ronaldo He also did not launch his maximum penalty.

He remained, yes, an image for memory: Cristiano Ronaldo Looking at the sky while crying “what injustice”, removed.

From there to redemption. In his hat-trick against Spain, the Star of the Portuguese changed his negative history to the Spaniards, with three purposes, one on the left, another with the right and one last missing. He sweetened the figures, but they couldn’t repeat it. Nor in the UEFA League of Nations or the gentle preparation for contests such as Euro2020.

This is how it came to this day. Cristiano Ronaldo He will look for repeat, for the interests of his choice, a mysterious night as he raised in Sochi in 2018.

With a global calculation of 5 draws, 2 losses and 2 wins in matches with full selection and 3 goals for Madeira’s striker, this week he can break the statistics in his favor.

Of course, for this you must face a Spain who came to enjoy its game and the challenge to get another league of countries that put it in a position it prefers, in one of the favorite combined for the next World Cup.
