Cristiano Ronaldo Stats vs Atletico Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo Stats vs Atletico Madrid:

Cristiano Ronaldo has shared always shared a heated relationship with Atletico Madrid fans, which is obvious considering that the Portuguese played for their arch-rivals, Real Madrid for almost a decade. 

With Atletico Madrid clashing with Ronaldo's current club, Man United, in the round of 16, we expect another chapter that could unfold in this bitter feud between Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid.

This will be a special night for Manchester United’s talisman Cristiano Ronaldo who has been an absolute nightmare for Atletico Madrid and their fans when he was at Real Madrid. 

And he will be present during the game to take on one of his favourite clubs in Europe. All the focus will be on the former Real Madrid player, who had shattered dreams of Atletico Madrid. 

We have seen very few rivalries in football between a player and a club, but the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid will surely go down in football history. 

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been a villain for Atletico Madrid, winning the game against them in clutch moments. However, we can recall many moments of Cristiano Ronaldo, who inflicted problems on Rojiblancos. 

The standout moments include scoring a hattrick against them in the Champions League semi-final in Real Madrid’s t-shirt, then netting another hattrick as a Juventus player against them in the Champions League round of 16, and inspired them to a 3-2 victory on aggregate. 

The Portuguese had a disappointing start to 2022, as he went six games without scoring a goal but ended it splendidly after a spectacular goal against Brighton. This will keep the former Real Madrid motivated for the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid. 

With this, we take a look at his stats of Cristiano Ronaldo vs Atletico Madrid: 

The stats speak for itself; Ronaldo has found the back of the net against Atletico Madrid 25 times in 35 outings. He’s the second top-scorer after Lionel Messi, who has fired 32 goals past Atletico Madrid. 

And not to mention, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a protagonist for Manchester United in every game in Champions League this season. 

The Five-time UCL winner has saved United from losing thrice in the Champions League this season, scoring twice against Atlanta and once against Villarreal, collecting seven crucial points and topping the group. 

He is known as 'Mr Champions League' for a reason who loves scoring in this big stage of football. And he will be keen on adding more to his tally when he takes on his favourite club Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
