There is a lot of talk on social media. As Diego Simeone put it, “If Cristiano Ronaldo had not been a footballer, I would have won the Champions League three times as a coach for so long.”
There is no conclusive evidence that Simeone said anything like that at all. Even if you did, you didn’t say anything wrong. His dream is to stumble in front of a Ronaldo. Why does his team Atletico Madrid also die in front of the Portuguese star? That Ronaldo is playing again in the Champions League against Atletico today. Ronaldo’s Manchester United are set to play in the first leg of the second round of the Champions League at Atletico’s Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid is one of the two teams that Ronaldo has scored the most goals against in his career. He has had the opportunity to play against Atletico many times thanks to playing for Real Madrid. He has scored 25 goals in 35 appearances against Atletico, four of his 48 career hat-tricks. Two of them are in the Champions League again. Only he has a record of scoring more goals against Sevilla.
Ronaldo Real beat Atletico 4-1 in the 2014 final, the last goal of the service came from Ronaldo’s feet. In the first leg of the semifinals of the 2016-17 season, Simeone collapsed alone.
He scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win at home to the Santiago Bernabeu. Atletico could not reach the final despite winning 2-1 in the next leg. However, the world seems to have seen the biggest proof of how Ronaldo got up when he got Atletico in the 2018-19 season. Ronaldo was at Juventus in those days. Ronaldo was at rest in the first leg of the second round at Seba Wanda Metropolitano, and Atletico also won 2-0.
But Ronaldo made it clear in the next leg that he could not stay in comfort even with two goals ahead. He scored a hat-trick again, dismissing Atletico and advancing to the next round.
Ronaldo explained that although the jersey was changed, the player’s skills were not impressed at all. No one in the history of the Champions League has scored three hat-tricks against the same team. Today, Ronaldo holds the record. .
