Wait, what? Is that legit? Real haven't done the double at all post-Stefano? That's bonkers.Also, there's a certain kind of 'hollowness' to a Champions League triumph if the side that wins it doesn't win their domestic league too as they cannot be called the best team in Europe. The last time Real did that was in the 50s.
Beat me to itYeah. Balague did a piece on him redistributing weight to his legs in prep for #9 role.

I'm not just talking about trophies. Biggest criticism of Ronaldo was usually (apart from the fact that he gave up on dribbling and joga bonito football) that he doesn't perform on the biggest stages. Well, it's hard to argue that nowIn terms of their club careers then I can't agree, Ronaldo only has one La Liga title.

We definitely did, think last summer has been our best summer for a long while now.Of course, but we still made a mess of that summer.
Obviously hindsight 20-20. I doubt any on here thought he'd be THIS good for THIS long.

They make football boringFootball will be boring when they're gone. Absolute geniuses.

Yep, they did it back to back during Di-Stefano's time in the 1956/57 & 57/58 seasons and haven't done it since.Wait, what? Is that legit? Real haven't done the double at all post-Stefano? That's bonkers.
For what exactly? We create chances but nowhere close to what Madrid do. He'd not be able to touch the numbers he does at Madrid with Martial and Mkhi alongside him.Please please please bring him back in the summer Mourinho
He can still score 30 goals.For what exactly? We create chances but nowhere close to what Madrid do. He'd not be able to touch the numbers he does at Madrid with Martial and Mkhi alongside him.
He would still score a hell of a lot of goals for us. When you look at some of the chances we have missed this season, Ronaldo would have buried them. We would have turned half of our draws into wins. That is why.For what exactly? We create chances but nowhere close to what Madrid do.

Was it you that posted that link of most goals in the CL from the QF stage onwards after the Bayern game?All thanks to the noodle hair style comeback

He just keeps pulling away.
Not just today but in general. We create a good amount but not close to what Madrid do. Not sure why we would want to buy a 32 year old Ronaldo when we need to rebuild. I'd gladly take back the Ronaldo of 06-08 but just a clinical finisher up top? I guess it would help results wise but I'm not sure he'd be getting those crazy numbers for us.
You make it sound like Ronaldo has no involvement in the chances he gets. All three goals today were goals we could've created - they weren't exceptional creative play, they were exceptional predatory play.
You know I'm never far away when it comes to RonaldoWelcome to the party, pal

Yes, like every summer for the last 4 years.Is he coming home?
If you can't see why we would want a player that's just scored back to back hat tricks in the UCL knockout rounds against two of the best teams in Europe then I don't think there's much to discuss. I just find it baffling that his hat trick today is being diminished to him being just a good finisher. He created those goals.Not just today but in general.

He created a lucky miskick which became a great cross and a fantastic team move and pull back by Vasquez? The second goal was great work undoubtedly.If you can't see why we would want a player that's just scored back to back hat tricks in the UCL knockout rounds against two of the best teams in Europe then I don't think there's much to discuss.
