Early this morning, Ronaldo has somehow known how Salah is shining and how he has set a record. The match against Bayern Munich tonight is the best opportunity for CR7 to immediately attract the attention of fans and the media to him.
Messi called, Ronaldo answered. Now that Messi has been left out, a rather strange name as Salah calls, Ronaldo will try to repay. Without talking too much about CR7's records in the Champions League, just aiming for the 12th consecutive goal in this arena is enough for the Portuguese star to be determined to tear Bayern's net.
Salah has 43 goals/47 matches this season. Ronaldo has 42 goals but the football striker has played 8 times less than the Liverpool superstar. Goals are a part, titles, Golden Shoes, Golden Ball... are things that CR7 has never felt bored with pursuing. In the end, what Ronaldo hopes for is to be placed at the "top" in all contract negotiations with the owner Florentino Perez.
Why are we talking about contracts at this time? Because the summer of 2017 was the time when the media talked too much about "Grandfather" Perez wanting to bring in Neymar to gradually replace Ronaldo. With a sky-high personality like CR7, no world has accepted it. Another Champions League title will help the 33-year-old striker "close the deal" with his boss.
CR7's excitement was shown in the fact that he was the first person to leave the trip carrying Real Madrid members in the away match against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena tonight. After a rather quiet return to the quarter-final against Juventus, Ronaldo is looking to return to a more destructive form than ever.
Liverpool beat Roma 5-2 in the first leg and have set one foot in the final. Ronaldo in particular and Real Madrid in general need to overcome the "Gray Tigers" if they want to win the Champions League 3 times in a row.
For Ronaldo personally, in addition to the club's overall record, if he has the opportunity to face "Egyptian Messi" Salah in the final, it is the most appropriate time for the Portuguese striker to prove who is the best player on the planet at the moment.
The match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals will take place at the Allianz Arena at 1:45 a.m. on April 26 (Vietnam time).
