The convincing 0:3 victory of Manchester United last night (Thursday) over Sheriff Tirspool ensured the promotion of the Red Devils to the next stage. Despite the important achievement, the main story is undoubtedly the breaking of the drought of the Portuguese phenomenon, Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the high-profile saga with Erik ten Haag behind and scored his first goal of the season in front of the home crowd at Old Trafford.

CR7’s goal tonight was the 701st of the Portuguese’s club career and his 15th in 2022, snapping an 18-year run of 15+ goals. It was the phenomenon’s third goal of the 2022/23 season, with his first coming against the Moldovans in the previous round and the second coming against Everton away 48 days ago.

Even in the kingdom, they did not remain indifferent to Ronaldo’s return. The London Sun wrote: “Ronaldo shot the sheriff. Ronaldo’s best days may have passed, but as he showed today, he still knows how to score.” The Mirror did not remain indifferent either and wrote about the phenomenon: “All eyes were on Cristiano Ronaldo after the suspension, but he came back in a big way and helped United win.”

Also the other side of the crisis that agitated the kingdom, Eric Ten the brother, responded at the end of the game to the Portuguese star’s drought breaking: “He created situations, the team creates situations for him and we know he can finish them in the net. At this point in time, he needed this goal and more goals will come, I’m sure of it.”
