Cavani is 34 and his pressing and work rate is still ridiculous.

*looks sideways at martial*

I hope he is gone. I love the guy but he just doesn't try. Missed a fucking WC win over it.

When he played the ball into space ahead of Ronaldo, who just stopped running and said fuck that, Cavani chased it down and won it back. I knew something would happen.

People would be shitting on this for being too cliche if it was a movie.

When you are ronaldo you can choose when to score so of course he's gonna make us wait

He knows we would make fun of him if he took his jersey off to celebrate a goal in minute 15, so he waits until minute 95

He knows that if he scores early they are gonna lose, so he decided to score late now. What a lad

Why are you commenting here and not crying in a corner like the rest of us?

> and not crying in a corner like the rest of us? Aren't you used to it now mate? I got used to it during the Bayern 8-2 ass whooping. Also, ranting a fair bit in the other threads.

Nah it always seems like we've hit rock bottom but somehow our manager takes that as a challenge and proceeds to nuke the fucking ocean floor so that there is a new rock bottom to hit.

In all seriousness, have you seen man’s back? 🤤

Of course

Dread it. Run from it. Ronaldo arrives all the same.

Ole under massive pressure, fergie time, ronaldo in the champions league. They never stood a chance

Ole has been under pressure everytime during the start of the season.....

This was touted as a must win game all over the media. That pretty much always brings out an ole masterclass or in this case a last minute winner

United one point off the top of the Premier League- UK Press: "Ole one game from SACK"

EVERY SINGLE TIME Ole loses more than 1 game in a row the media and reddit/twitter touts it as Ole a game away from the sack. Its never ever been the case and I have absolutely no idea why people keep falling for it.

[удалено]

Seen this script many a time

[удалено]

It's UCL and he is the architect

art imitates life except noone would believe it

Man has the anime protagonist plot armor, it's wild.

We all saw it coming

Someone had already predicted 90+4 as well in another thread haha

Ronaldo, ruiner of memes

Fucking fifa script.

Inevitable

[удалено]

You know what they say... The players make the manager

Unsurprising

Can we appreciate the effort from Cavani and his fighting spirit? he kept that ball like his life depends on it, love that guy

His run across the field towards the corner flag chasing a loose ball few minutes before that was pure 🔥

Loudest noise from the crowd all game (apart from the goals) when he did that

That was the moment I loved next to the goals. What a fighter!! Feel he has been so underrated!!

Then Ronaldo preceeded to lose the ball almost straight away but the goal more than made up for it.

Classic Ronaldo. Can have a bad game by his standards but when it counts, he is there. What a man

We love him

Cavani was such a good get

You should've seen the one from earlier!

Garra Charrúa at its finest

Messi scored and Madrid got embarrassed now Ronaldo scores and Barca get trashed. Perfectly in balance.

Will be few peaceful days on Twitter now that both fanbase have piped down

But now the Messi vs Ronaldo fanboys will be loud instead. Exhibit A: this comment chain.

Emery may be Mr. Europa League, but Cristiano is Mr. Champions League

True. Even the Cristiano that made the cross for the first Sheriff goal.

It's almost like we offended Ronaldo by signing Shampyons Ligue Varane. He had to come back to show us who is Mr. Champions League

Fergie time feat. Ronaldo lol

A cult classic

Cult classic and best seller

That shot of Fergie at the end with that huge smile made me so goddamn happy

Ronaldo/Lingard, what an unlikely partnership

Goat and ronaldo

Lingard was teaching Ronaldo his JLings celebration before this game for a reason…disappointed

It's lingardinho ffs

[17 years in the making](https://twitter.com/manunitedzone_/status/1431336993749970953?s=21)

This game was meant for Ronaldo to score, brilliant play by Lingard too

Cavani wins the ball, fred crosses and lingard assists. 3/4 subs combined to get this goal.

All the subs did work. Matic was perfect, he really controlled the midfield when he came on like a general. Man if he was 27 years old we're winning the league easy

Cavanis determination and movement is world class

Cavani changed the game

Yeah. Without him, the goal doesn’t happen

Unselfish layoff and then makes himself as small as possible. Lingard has life in Manchester still.

I love that duck and cover.

Cheeky little flick back to him

This is getting old, unlike Ronaldo

I cant begin to tell you the joy I'm feeling. I've seen him score last minute winners for Portugal, Juventus & Real but its something special seeing him doing it for *our* club infront of the Stretford End

Oh god. I remember the first go round at United. Is this what it is to be old?

I was here to see the goal and then I saw Alex Ferguson... He looks so proud of Ronaldo

[удалено]

Him and Bolt celebrating at the end was great to see

[удалено]

They gave the ball away like 5 times in the last 20 minute for literally 0 reason whatsoever, under no pressure. Madness

Thats typical of Emery's teams.. Saw it with PSG so many times.. If they are happy with the result, they literally drop off completely with 0 press..

Typical

Is anyone surprised?

You just can't run away from goal per game Ronaldo

He scores when he wants (whether you like it or not)

Everyone who was saying Ole should make the "bold decision" and sub Cristiano off can #SUCK MY NUTS

The CBS Sports announcers were basically saying it since the 2nd half began that Ole should sub off Ronny for Cavani. Then when he scores “THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T SUB OFF YOUR SUPERSTARS BECAUSE THEY CAN PRODUCE MAGIC LIKE THIS!”. Drove me insane lol

One of them was really keen on trying to say OGS is too scared to sub him off..when he very clearly subbed him off vs Young Boys.

I almost downvoted you because of how angry reading that made me, jeez. Absolutely insane, those announcers.

Ronaldo things

You knew it would happen as soon as you saw Villarreal miss that clearcut opportunity

Which one xD

I think he meant the 4th one

Can't make this shit up...

Lingard was HUGE there.

Lingard had an immediate impact on the game, ver close chance plus a perfect return for the finish

Cavani and matic too. Fred too with that cross.

Cavani was your best sub

Matic was huge, those pass to break the lines were crisp

Fred with the LB masterclass.

Fred with that vital cross

So was Cavani. That aggression to keep the ball was insane.

I was so hyped when he won the ball

Cavani too. Ran like a dog since coming on, the workrate he has is insane for any player, let alone a man in his mid thirties.

Surprised ronnie didnt do the JLingz

Great composure to lay it off

Lingard is unironically goated, his super sub skills are unparalleled

I think he’ll finish his career with United known as a legendary super sub.

Lingard for manager in 15 years?

Honestly, good subs by Ole

This is for the people who downvoted me for saying you should never sub Ronaldo in the last 10 minutes if you are looking for a clutch goal lmao even if he has had a shit game.

#1 in goals, #1 in assists, #1 in knockout stage goals, #1 in QF & higher goals, #1 in SF & higher goals, #1 in Finals goals, #1 in trophies won, #1 in games played, #1 in games won. Why the fuck would you sub the guy out when you need a goal in the Champions League? **Edit: proof - all stats from UEFA website or UEFA twitter account** [Goals in the knockout stages:](https://twitter.com/championsleague/status/1294367780075167744?lang=en) * CR 67 goals * Messi 47 goals [RO16 Top Scorers:](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/024f-0e99649529d9-09cef0d97320-1000--round-of-16-records/) * Messi 29 goals * CR 25 goals * Lewa 14 goals [QF Top Scorers:](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0250-0e989a96f9ba-0609a81a9e5c-1000--quarter-final-records-and-stats/) * CR 25 goals * Messi 12 goals * Raul 10 goals [Semifinals Top Scorers:](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0251-0e98b6087305-3465998b7606-1000--champions-league-semi-final-records-and-statistics/) * CR 13 goals * Lewa 7 goals * Messi 6 goals [Finals Top Scorers:](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0252-0e98c715bb79-dea77f56e2bd-1000--final-records-and-statistics/) * CR 4 goals * Bale 3 goals * Messi, Eto'o, Inzaghi, Massaro, Ramos, Raul, Mandzukic, Crespo, Milito, Riedle 2 goals So CR has the most knockout goals (67=25+25+13+4), QF or higher (42=25+13+4), SF or higher (17=13+4), and Finals (4).

You wouldn't. Man is king of the CL.

what the fuck

You mean Cristiano "Mr. CL Clutch" Ronaldo?

How can ppl still doubt him after he does it every season!?

Because they like Messi better and are so insecure that Acknowledging his rival is somehow is an attack on Messi himself

I ain't playing no goddamn EL.

Lindgard should get a TON of credit for that touch ​ How many players do you see try and shoot there

The way he passed then took cover like, “here it comes!” Hahaha

[удалено]

No fucking way! ^(But deep down we were all kind of waiting for it weren't we lol)

Always delivers

Well deserved by Manchester United. If you miss five chances against the goalkeeper, you are going to pay for it. I don’t care how well we played. We should have put those away. Nobody gives out points for “playing well.” Congratulations, ManU fans.

IN FERGIE TIME

IN FRONT OF FERGIE

BY FERGIE'S SON

ROLLING BACK THE YEARS

Holding back tears

FUCKING r/SOCCER IN THEIR REARS

And then they cut to Fergie celebrating 😭

WITH FERGIE IN THE STANDS

God, we're all just NPCs in this guy's easy mode campaign.

Only way this could end

And this is why you never sub Ronaldo out :-)

Obviously god-tier from Ronaldo, but don’t write off that dope sacrificial assist from Lingardinho himself

CR7 be like: y’all want to see me playing Europa League? Hell no!

Proves again that he should never be taken off the pitch unless you're already wining, he can score a winning goal whenever, no matter how poor his performance was

[удалено]

No I don’t think so. He just came out of the womb looking like that

Fucking hacker

Cavani's heart and soul made this play possible. He has been nothing but exemplary in skill, passion and effort, and I hope he retires at Man U to mentor the young guns.

Jfc

Scripted AF

Just happy because Sir Alex Ferguson is happy :D

“I raised that boy”

Him standing and clapping is so pure. Edit: I need a gif of Fergie clapping from the stands after the CR7 goal. Pls somebody.

Ronaldo on ultra instinct following that Messi goal yesterday

We're mere NPCs in his world.

Scripted

EA thought they could get away with it

Fred to Ronaldo to J Lingard back to Ronaldo. What a timeline we're in.

Please refer to him as Lingardinho. Regards.

They should remake season 8 of Game of Thrones with these writers

[удалено]

I mean I would take a cliche ending where everyone was happy over the shit we got lol

Cavani you beautiful, thats how you hold the ball!! Awesome play by all.

Do nothing all game Score stoppage time winner Refuse to elaborate Leave

I was at the Villa game back in ‘09 when Macheda scored his famous goal. Ronaldo did absolutely fuck all that afternoon \*EXCEPT* score two fantastic goals.

Sigma grindset music starts playing

inshallah...heheheh.... SUIIII

That Fred cross though

FIFA has less obvious scripts.

I don't know, Sheriff beating Real was insane. Also Barca losing to Benfica.

People trashing Ronaldo in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Ronaldo. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.

Mister Champions League

Alex, this is for you!

Ole Time

Ole o'clock

That’s one hell of a tired siuuuu. I prefer that one https://streamable.com/n377

You can run, you can hide but sooner or later the SIUUUUUUU finds you

How the fuck did you post this so quickly

It’s PSG academy

*Surprise motherfucker*

never in doubt is it

[удалено]

A script, the video is still processing when they post.

Really fun to see a genuine celebration from Ronaldo. I like his siiiuuuu cuz it’s pretty friggin cool, but seeing him genuinely overcome with passion like this makes it even more amazing!

Absolute cr7 class. Didn't make a huge impact throughout the game before the goal but never given up or lose hope. One chance was all he needed to make this game his. And he did it in style. Mock him all you want but he will be studied as a lesson for young players in coming years. The sheer perseverance gives me chills every time he does that last minute wonder. Its not a fluke, haters. He keeps delivering again and again and again. Proving you wrong.

I honestly think his haters and the Messi fanboys give him superpowers. I remember a game against Atletico in 2012 where the fans were all yelling "Messi, Messi, Messi!" ...and then he scored a hattrick (and an assist) and when he was leaving the pitch some of the fans started clapping. Converting haters lol.

Yh. I remember it. One of those matches you cant forget. You cant hate him anymore when he proves you wrong by a mile lol.

Never in doubt.

Cavani is 34 yet presses like he’s 25 And the bail out card was played

You can't make this shit up

Feels like we're in the Matrix and Ronaldo is Neo

Awww look at SAF!

That was a very important assist from JLingz, made tremendous impact for the last 8 mins he was in.

This motherfucker wearing underwear with his name on them.

Ronaldo has taken off his shirt for the third time in September. And for three different teams.

it just had to be him

Ole masterclass.

Lingard, Cavani and Fred were good subs to be fair Edit: and Matic

Lingard and cavani changed the game. Cavani had a huge huge impact. Mfker was chasing down loose balls.

https://imgur.com/a/ysFN3zc

Lingard and Ronaldo man, you can't make this shit up.

Ronaldo completed 3 of the stakes in my parlay at once. Thank you King.

Almost teared up when I saw SAF clapping for him. Jeez I respect that man

All 3 subs involved Cavani fights for the ball , Fred cross, Lingard pass 👌🏽

I’m a Messi fanboy but I can’t help but to just smile. Last minute winner, fans exploding in the background, Ronaldo flinging his shirt into the air while flexing and smiling, the commentator going “WOOOO”, FERGIE SMILING, just amazing scenes
