Observing Ronaldo’s stats before facing Liverpool

DBasia.news – Cristiano Ronaldo will again be the focus of Manchester United to host Liverpool in the 2021-2022 continued Premier League at Old Trafford, Sunday (24/10) at 22.30 WIB. So what are CR7’s statistics when they meet the Reds?

This is not the first time Ronaldo has taken part in a match called the North West Derby. In his first spell at Manchester United, the 36-year-old player played against Liverpool regularly for six seasons from 2003 to 2009.

Overall, Ronaldo has faced Liverpool nine times in that period. While on four other occasions, he had to be absent for various reasons.

Eight of those nine matches took place in the Premier League. As a result, Ronaldo was able to bring Manchester United to five wins, two defeats, and one draw over Liverpool.

But Ronaldo’s contribution still appears minimal. He was only able to score two goals and two assists.

After moving to Real Madrid, Ronaldo had three times met with Liverpool in the Champions League. Amazingly, he helped Los Blancos wipe out all matches with a win and contributed one goal.

One of the meetings with Liverpool took place in the 2018 Champions League final. Although he didn’t score, Ronaldo at least had experience meeting Jurgen Klopp’s Red Merseyside.

From the statistics above, Ronaldo appeared less sharp in front of Liverpool. He was only able to score three goals from 12 meetings.

Even so, the experience and mentality of the champion is very crucial in the match later. It is possible that he would score the winning goal for Manchester United again.
