What is the club that Cristiano Ronaldo has faced most often during his long career?
No, it’s not FC Barcelona, the sworn enemy during his time at Real, but the other rival and neighbor of the Merengues, Atlético Madrid. Admittedly, it is not played much: 34 matches against Barça, 35 against Atlético.
It is also the opponent against whom he has won the most (17 times). With very good memories, starting with two Champions League finals won (2014 and 2016). It was also against Diego Simeone’s troops that he signed his last real feat in C1: he scored the three goals in the round of 16 second leg to qualify Juventus, who lost 2-0 at Madrid.
Just behind Sevilla
Atlético is also the second team against which he has scored the most: 25 goals (even if he remains in two duels without finding the net), behind the 27 spent at Sevilla FC (in 18 matches!) but ahead of Getafe (23/14) and Barça (20/34). The same goes for the assists: 9, one less than against Espanyol Barcelona.
He was therefore decisive 34 times in 35 duels against Atlético, the opponent he “martyred” the most in total.
For the wink, it is also against the Colchoneros that he took the most yellow cards (11), in addition to a red.
A reunion with the people of Madrid who promise to be boiling.
