Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t exactly been at his best during the first half of the season. He was sent off and scored only one goal in La Liga by the start of November.
What ?? Ronaldo not playing to the “Godly” high standards we all know he usually performs at? His days are over. He’s done. Why doesn’t he retire ??
But with Ronaldo being Ronaldo, he wasn’t going to let the bad form get him down. That-a-boy CR7!
Fast forward four months and he’s now just three league goals behind Messi this season for a total of 22; one more than Messi’s teammate, Luis Suarez. He has scored an astonishing 21 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions, and 21 in his 16 La Liga games.
Even though his great rival Lionel Messi was on 12 for the league season back then, which is (maths fans) 11 goals more than Ronaldo, that didn’t stop the Portuguese from placing a bet with his teammates that he would finish the league season as the top scorer in La Liga.
You can never accuse Cristiano Ronaldo of lacking in confidence! Will he win the bet ??
Being a CR7 fan, absolutely yes!
