If the Great Valley can count on the Paw Patrol, Manchester United is relying on Cristiano Ronaldo. Twice led Tuesday night on the lawn of Atalanta Bergamo, the Red Devils were saved by a double from the Portuguese scoring machine, in stoppage time in each period. They thus keep the lead of their Champions League group, tied with Villareal but with two lengths ahead of the Italians.

“This attitude of never giving up can not be called into question”, welcomed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, coach still on borrowed time and inevitably rave about CR7. “He’s a leader and his role is to score. To us, he’s like Michael Jordan for the Chicago Bulls. These are the champions who make great teams. He’s getting better and better with us. “
A further improved goalscoring record
His counterpart Gian Piero Gasperini did not dare to compare with the NBA icon. But the Atalanta technician said much the same as the Norwegian. “We believed in it, really, we controlled the game and there really wasn’t much missing. But this is the Champions League, there was an extraordinary player and that determined the result. “
With 139 pawns in C1, Ronaldo further improved his record and maintained his legend. And at 36, he has plenty of time to plant more. After all, Jordan waited until he was in his forties before retiring permanently.
