Cristiano Ronaldo is fired up for Tuesday night’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.
United and Atletico are tied at 1-1 after the first leg, with a place in the quarter-finals on the line.
Ronaldo is fired up and sent a message to supporters and team urging for collective success ahead of the big night at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese star has shaken off a hip injury which kept him out of training last week and was a full participant in Monday’s session, alongside Edinson Cavani.
Ronaldo warmed up for the Atletico game in the best possible way, with a hat-trick at Old Trafford against Tottenham at the weekend.
The superstar took his career goal tally to a staggering 807 strikes, and he hopes to add to that against Atletico, a team he has haunted in the past.
Ronaldo has had his way with Atletico in the past, scoring 25 career goals against them for Real Madrid and Juventus, even winning the Champions League final against them in 2014.
His hat-trick against Tottenham at the weekend came as a timely reminder of what he is capable of, and the Spanish press are openly fearful of what he may do on Tuesday night.
After a slow start to 2022, Ronaldo is back on track, with 18 goals for the season, but the game against Atletico is about more than the number 7. Whoever scores, it is crucial United win and keep the season alive.
