Russia (bbabo.net), - Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo is out of action in 2022. His goalless streak reached the mark of six meetings.
The last time Ronaldo was so "silent" was in January 2009. Then he, speaking for Manchester United, could not distinguish himself in seven fights in a row. Another question is that time the “Red Devils” were among the leaders of the championship of England, and now the unstable performances of his club are superimposed on the failures of Cristiano.
Having failed to defeat Southampton at home (1:1) in the match of the 24th round of the Premier League, the Mancunians seriously complicated their task of getting into the Champions League group stage for next season. They are currently fifth in the table with 40 points. Slightly lower are Arsenal (39 points) and Tottenham Hotspur (36), but both London teams have several games in hand compared to Manchester United.
Returning to Ronaldo, it is worth noting that in the British press for several weeks now they have been talking about his cool relationship with United head coach Ralph Rangnick. The German himself is not afraid to publicly criticize the Portuguese, and before the game with Southampton he emphasized that the team needs to strengthen the attacking line next summer.
Meanwhile, London's Chelsea became the winner of the club championship held in the Emirates. In the final, the Blues beat Brazil's Palmeiras 2-1 after extra time.
Interestingly, European clubs have won the Club World Cup for the ninth consecutive time. The last time a representative of another confederation won the title in 2012, when, by the way, the Brazilian Corinthians defeated Chelsea in the decisive match.
It should be noted that the last Club World Cup was the last in which the competitions were held in the usual format. From the next draw, the tournament will replace the Confederations Cup, and 24 of the world's best teams will take part in it - eight from Europe, six from South America, three each from Africa, Asia and Central America and one club from Oceania. As planned by FIFA, the new tournament should take place next year.
