Cristiano has secured a ticket for Manchester United to the Champions League final, which means they will face Liverpool at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in more than 20 days.
For the current Manchester United, reaching the Champions League final is already a new "milestone". They have not tasted the final for a long time.
Regardless of whether they win or lose the final, it is already a satisfactory result for Manchester United fans.
But for Cristiano, he wanted much more than that.
When he returned to Manchester United, he had already made his ambition clear to everyone - he came to win the championship again with this team.
He wants to help the Red Devils stand at the top of the football world again. He wants Boss to witness that they can still bring the championship trophy back to Manchester United's showroom together, just like returning to the old days, full of glory.
So, in the final against Liverpool, Cristiano's only winning goal in the second half was as firm as a belief for the Portuguese. He was both joyful and deserved. He still cheered and celebrated every goal, but the goal was the reward he deserved after countless sweat and pain.
Gary Neville, the guest commentator at the highest commentary stand on the scene, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass wall, staring closely at the court. When Cristiano scored a goal with a long free kick, he excitedly waved his hands and shouted: "I knew it! See! I knew he could do it!!"
Neville was spinning around excitedly, speaking quickly to the other commentators around him: "If you want the team to score at the last moment, you have to give the ball to Ronnie! He can do it!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo, this Portuguese is the best scorer in history! As long as you believe in him, use him, pass him the ball, he can score for you!"
Even though he is no longer in this team, even though he has been away from football for a long time, he still remembers the days when he played shoulder to shoulder with the Portuguese, those times of excitement and endless possibilities. They were so wonderful and so fresh in his memory that he can never forget them and always reminisces about them in his dreams.
The Red Devils during that time were at their peak, like a triumphant hero.
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium witnessed an English derby-style Champions League final. The winning goal scored by Cristiano was like a small drop of clean water dropped into boiling oil. The whole stadium was like an exploding frying pan. Chaos, disorder, screams, tears, and ecstasy intertwined to form the rhapsody of the night.
When the game was over, Manchester United's coaching staff, players on the bench, and staff on the sidelines all swarmed into the stadium, and even the players on the field raised their arms in surprise and ran straight towards the Portuguese player who was closest to the frontcourt.
They were like a whirlpool, being madly and inexplicably swept towards the center of the whirlpool - Cristiano Ronaldo.
There was drizzle in the air, and several huge spotlights on the stadium turned the fine rain into gold. Cardiff Millennium Stadium once again witnessed the Red Devils lifting the trophy.
Cristiano was suppressed at the bottom by the extremely excited Red Devils. He even heard someone sobbing, but he couldn't find the source. The light in front of him was blocked by the crowd rushing forward.
When he finally managed to get some light back, he looked at those faces again. Every face was flushed with excitement, and each one looked like they had been crying.
——The Red Devils have been looking forward to this victory for too long, so long that many of them have already left the stage.
Cristiano grinned, his eyes found Kaka, and when he reached out his hand to Kaka, he was pulled out by a warm and dry hand.
"Ronnie!" Ferguson freed his precious little Portuguese from the crowd. No one dared to squeeze with Sir Ferguson. He rubbed Cristiano's red face, laughed and hugged the boy into his arms, "Incomparable! We won the Champions League! I knew, when I saw you come back, I knew that one day I would see you bring Manchester United back to the Champions League! But I didn't expect it to be so soon, so early!"
Cristiano listened to Ferguson's excited whispers. He blinked twice quickly to wipe away the moisture in his eyes and said softly: "This is all for you, Boss, especially for you."
Ferguson didn't hear clearly what Cristiano said. It was too noisy around him, especially the shouting and laughter of the players and staff, which almost broke his eardrums.
He rubbed Cristiano's face, moved closer and asked, "Ronnie, what did you say?"
Cristiano smiled, then he raised his voice a little and said loudly: "I am so happy that I won the Champions League with you again! This is wonderful!"
"Yes, Ronnie, yes, it's as wonderful as a dream." Ferguson also laughed. He always believed that Cristiano could bring another Champions League to Manchester United, but he never thought that it would happen in the short time he was still coaching -
Manchester United is going through a period of pain due to integration and change. This period is both difficult and full of hope and uncertainty.
He doesn't know whether he will continue to coach for the next two or three years. He is indeed old, and his energy, his body, and his family are all telling him that he can slowly prepare to take a break. But he always thinks that he has to take his Portuguese people through this long and difficult time together. He cannot guarantee that the next coach will trust and understand Cristiano as much as he does.
Similarly, he knew that there was a wildfire deep in his heart. He was so looking forward to Cristiano's return. He certainly hoped that under his leadership, he could personally lead the Portuguese to lift the supreme trophy again.
It's like old times.
And today, on a night when he was afraid to have more expectations, when he thought the Red Devils might not be fully ready, Cristiano used his signature free kick to unexpectedly take the championship trophy into his pocket.
This is a better moment than a sweet dream.
Manchester United's championship victory has become the headline that will be dominated in the next week. Countless fans are crazy about it. In Spain, the gate and training base of Real Madrid Club were once again surrounded by crazy fans - look who you gave away! Look at the players you bought to strengthen the team! We want Cristiano! Let him come back!
The huge banner, filled with threatening and accusatory words, hurt Florentino's eyes. If there is anyone who least wants to see Manchester United win the championship, it is probably the current chairman of Real Madrid.
Every goal the Portuguese scored in the Champions League made his heart beat faster. Those goals were like words, hitting him in the face, shouting how stupid, short-sighted and conceited he was.
Those fans will no longer regard him as the king of the club. They will forget what an unparalleled Galactico they had created under his leadership, the outstanding and incomparable - even Manchester United cannot compare - five consecutive championships. The fans will only remember that he gave Cristiano Ronaldo away without even leaving a penny for the transfer fee, and not even the clink of coins could be heard.
Fans will only remember that he ruined Real Madrid's glorious streak of winning the championship. It was as if he had become an unforgivable sinner of Real Madrid overnight, and all this was because of one person.
Ramos also watched the game. He even met Cristiano after the game. Cristiano gave him a hug as if they were still teammates. They took a photo in the Manchester United locker room. He thought to himself that at least he still had a Cristiano free pass card.
"Congratulations, Cristiano, you won the Champions League again." He held Cristiano's hand and said softly.
"That's what I always look for, you know, titles, wins," Cristiano said.
Ramos nodded.
"Honestly, I miss the days when you were in Madrid," Ramos whispered.
Kaka cleared his throat.
Ramos noticed it and looked at Kaka. Well, this Brazilian was so lucky to be on the same team with Cristiano again. In his impression, the Brazilian always seemed dissatisfied with him and Cristiano being alone together.
He curled his lips and said, "You are still teammates now, so what's wrong with me chatting with Chris for a while?" So stingy.
sese doesn't care.
He thought about it, then turned back, looked at Cristiano and continued: "The fans miss you too. They always put pressure on the chairman at the club gate to buy you back..."
Kaka pinched his throat and wanted to remind him, but it was too late. Giggs and Vidic grabbed Ramos' shoulders and dragged him out of the locker room. "Come to the Manchester United locker room to poach Ronnie? Are you serious? Don't let me see you here again. I'm serious."
It was fortunate that they won the game today and were in a good mood, otherwise Ramos would have been beaten no matter what.
Cristiano grinned with a gloating smile, and waved to Ramos: "Goodbye, Sese."
Ramos: “…”
Rooney grumbled, "This guy is even more outrageous than the previous boss and Leo. At least they were just talking, but this guy broke into our locker room!"
——Boss wants to take Ronnie back to Manchester in a laundry basket, while Leo wants to put Ronnie in a luggage bag. To be honest, these two are more terrifying than each other :)
Giggs snorted, "He should be thankful that the boss isn't here, otherwise he would have been shot by a shoe sole."
The little prince of Dream Theater finally returned home, but within a few years they were eager to kidnap their child again? Dream on.
