Cristiano Ronaldo: Time To Score vs Barcelona
Cristiano Ronaldo has been scoring goals at Real Madrid like rain pours down in England. The Portuguese winger, despite not being a typical striker, has netted almost as much goals as appearances for the Spanish giants since joining them back in 2009.
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in scintillating form for Real Madrid – putting the ball across the goal line thrice in his last 3 matches in all competitions. Ronaldo is now just 4 goals shy of hitting 200 career goals. Will at least one of those come at the Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona on Saturday?
Fact: CR7 has never ever deceived Barca’s defence with a goal. After facing the Catalans 6 times in total, some Barcelona fans may suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal-drought against Barcelona will continue for a much longer period.
Now although the player keeps downplaying the importance of scoring against the Blaugrana, his fans remain puzzled over his “curse”. Among the many records that Cristiano Ronaldo has broken since playing professional football, there is a special one that needs to be set for him at the individual level – and it is to score against the team that is regarded as the best in the world currently, Barcelona.
