Ronaldo Champions League winning goal… 5 goals in 5 matches for Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo (36) returns to Manchester United (England) and continues to score ‘one goal per game’.
Manchester United defeated Villarreal (Spain) 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League Group F second leg match against Villarreal (Spain) on the 30th (Korean time). In the 8th minute of the second half, Paco Alcacer (28) allowed a preemptive goal, but in 7 minutes, Alex Tellis (29, Brazil) equalized.
Ronaldo made a comeback winning goal with a key pass from Jesse Lingard (29, England), which he received inside the penalty box in the fifth minute of extra time in the second half. It wasn’t an easy angle, but he kicked it well with his right foot.
After rejoining Manchester United, he scored 3 goals in 3 Premier League matches and 2 goals in 2 Champions League matches. They are pouring in nutritious goals such as the opening goal, the final goal, the match goal, the equalizing goal, and the final goal.
Ronaldo was a typical wing striker during his first season at Manchester United from 2003 to 2009, such as the right wing (69 points, 37 assists in 126 games) and left wing (5 points, 5 assists in 18 games).
However, after returning, he only plays as a center forward. Ronaldo is showing a changed position and a ‘scoring machine’ aspect to the fans of his former team reunited after 12 years.
