Manos Staramopoulos • 8 de noviembre de 2021

The portuguese striker reached 139 goals in the UEFA Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo with Manchester United in 2008

Manchester United escaped defeat in Bergamo, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo who in the first minute of extra time scored a beautiful goal and gave the English team the opportunity to leave with a draw (2-2).


And yet it was a bad night for the "red devils", but the class of the Portuguese superstar spoke who "swallowed" United with the two goals he scored.


 So it was logical after the end of the match, the English coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to deify him, proceeding to an impressive parallel, comparing Cristiano Ronaldo with Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls!


"Cristiano for us is like Michael Jordan for the Chicago Bulls. No one can question the character of these players. They just do not give up and do not give up, they just keep going. "We had to make some changes and they worked," said the 48-year-old Norwegian.


The 36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo with these two goals he achieved reached 139 goals in his glorious career in the Champions League, a fact that ranks him in the first place, having behind him also the amazing, Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi with 123 goals.


At the same time, Robert Lewandowski, who is going through an impressive season again, celebrated the completion of 100 participations in the Champions League, scoring 3 goals in the impressive 5-2 against Benfica, and while the international Greek goalkeeper, Odysseas Vlachodimos, also caught a penalty (!).


The 33-year-old Polish striker, one of the big favorites for the "Golden Ball", where our editor-in-chief, Manos Staramopoulos, votes for Greece, reached 81 goals in the top inter-club competition. A 64 of which he has scored with the Bavarian jersey in 72 appearances! And with Borussia Dortmund 17 goals in 28 matches in the three years 2011/13.
