Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record in the Europa League after scoring against Sheriff Tiraspol.
On October 27th, Ronaldo played for Manchester United at Old Trafford, just days after being brought back into first-team action by Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo was benched for United’s game against Chelsea after walking off the field before the final whistle against Tottenham Hotspur.
He started against Moldovan champions and scored his first goal at Old Trafford this season after missing the visit at Stamford Bridge.
Ronaldo’s new record
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner had previously been denied by Sheriff’s goalkeeper Maksym Koval and once by the offside rule. However, in the 80th minute, the Portuguese rose to fire a bullet header that Koval saved. Ronaldo, on the other hand, moved fast to tap in the round.
According to MEN, Ronaldo scored his fifteenth goal of the year in this manner. Ronaldo’s record of scoring 15 or more goals every calendar year now stands at 18 years.
Football fans worldwide were enthralled by Cristiano Ronaldo’s newfound goal celebration, which could spell the end of the classic ‘Siu’.
After a difficult week, the Portuguese superstar was reintegrated into Manchester United’s team for the Europa League match against Sheriff Tiraspol. United won 3-0 on the night, with Ronaldo scoring nine minutes from the end.
On the sixth day of the Europa League, United will play Real Sociedad, who defeated Nicosia 2-0 on Thursday.
