Cristiano Ronaldo with Manchester United
Manchester United occupies sixth place in the English Premier League and is liable to lose this position as well, to move further from the top four qualifying for the Champions League.
Manchester United’s absence from the Champions League has put Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo in a difficult situation, despite having a great season with United, scoring 17 goals in 28 games so far, which constitutes 30% of his team’s goals.
In the event that Manchester United does not qualify for the Champions League, this will be the first time in Ronaldo’s career that he does not participate in the continental championship, since his first appearance with Sporting Lisbon in the 2002-2003 season, where he played in the “Champions League” competitions continuously, He even participated when he was in the youth team with Sporting in the qualifying stage against Inter Milan and his team did not qualify for the group stage.
Ronaldo became one of the faces constantly participating in the Champions League and at least in the group stage, scoring 140 goals in the tournament to become the historical top scorer for the competition, and the owner of the largest number of goals in one copy with 17 goals, and the owner of the largest number of participations in the tournament with 187 games, and the only player to score goals in 3 finals.
Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United may give him a chance to participate in the Champions League if the “Red Devils” do not qualify, but there is no news so far indicating his departure.
It is noteworthy that Ronaldo won the Champions League 5 times, including one with Manchester United and 4 with Real Madrid.
