Cristiano Ronaldo scoredfor Manchester United, again. The Portuguese superstar has lifted his side against Villarreal to give it the lead in a must-win UEFA Champions League game.
It’s not been an easy couple of days for the Red Devils given that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired following many poor results, but Ronaldo is once again coming to the rescue in an important night for their continental aspirations.
Villarreal were holding the visitors to a goalless draw at Estadio de la Ceramica and it seemed like it would finish that way with twelve minutes for the final whistle. That’s when Ronaldo came up clutch to put them in front.
