The shot he took with his left foot in the first place, the one which almost the crossbar.That one almost gave me a heart attack

Law was unhappy because he thought he had relegated us with that goal,a bit different from ronaldo's situation.
Reminds me of when he was playing for us and the amount of ridiculous analysis people did into his every gesture.
Can't fault him for acknowledging the Real Madrid crowd there, after all he plays for them and they pay his wages. It's just nice to see he didn't ran around and went sliding on his knees to celebrate his goal
Wasn't his best game, I was far more worried every time Di Maria got the ball. I literally can't fault that header though, it was perfect.
I think we have already established that he knew that whatever happened, Laws goal wouldn't have done anything for Manchester United. I think it is the idea that he scored against his old club that did it.
He very rarely runs around or slides when he scores nowadays. It is as if he has been practicing this for ages, reference his "Calm down", when he scores on a regular basis in La Liga. I can remember Joe Cole scoring against his old club and he did exactly the same thing as Ronaldo, he didn't want to celebrate, which is good for English football of course. Then there are the likes of Adebayor who is a complete idiot of the highest order.
Indeed, Ozil and Di Maria really were the best players by a country mile for Real Madrid. DDG was nailed on MOTM for me last night.
Ridiculous comparing him to Denis Law.
He plays for Madrid, so ofcourse he's gonna acknowledge their fans.
Tiresome agenda, give it a rest.
Oh yes, no doubt about that.
Fergie would even pay some out of his own pocket if that's what it takes.
Please stop talking bollocks. We knew and he knew the results of the other matches (both of them tight games) ten minutes later. He thought he'd relegated us - he says so.
You already read it Plech, you were arguing the same points in the same thread
Should probably go to a neurologist, just in case. It was in that overruled offside against City, that was argued for weeks after the game, I'll look for it later, don't have the time now.We have?
Listen mate, I according to Phil, need to give it a rest so, I am staying off the Ronaldo thread.
I just wish he was still with us. What a footballer
He got his goal, nice for him.
Now once we're 4 up at OT maybe we'll let him have one for old times sake.

I think I read before that he dedicates his goals to his son, so just perhaps it was something to do with that.
Wouldn't think too much about it TBH. He didn't celebrate, he showed class and respect towards us. End of.
Yep. It is inadvertently praising Messi, when the talk should just have been about Ronaldo. Especially given that Messi is so far ahead of him now it is no longer even a contest.
I don't think he put some great performance at all, apart from that goal which was taken very good.
He is obviously clever as always, that goal proves it, he is true matchwinner, but he isn't involved in game as most of great players are. Yesterday he was one of Real Madrid's player with fewest touches and passes, if I remember well(I read it somewhere last night), only varane and Benzema(who was subbed off after an hour) had less touches. Made just one dribbling through whole game, and apart from that goal and couple of good shoots from range hasn't really stand out in all round play at all. For example, Welbeck had better game IMO, and van Persie's overall performance(apart from nonscoring) was much better than his, and in Madrid Di Maria, Xabi, and Oezil looked better than him.
If he plays like this at Old Trafford I don't think we should worry more than they should worry about van Persie.
I'm not obviously his biggest fan, that's why I rarely post in this thread, but I felt need to post this.

Probably because Jones was stuck on him like glue all game, hence why space opened up for Di Maria, Ozil etc.
I reckon we'd be willing to go up to 60 million if he became available (we'd sell Valencia and Nani to cover maybe half of it).
One league title and a cup in four years isn't anything to get excited about, he should stop buggering about with this silly dream nonsense and come home.
He had his time, but he was mainly playing as a target man. Di Maria was doubled most of the time, and Carrick did good job on Oezil too.
Can anyone think of a player with a better weaker foot than his?
Cazorla? I can't quite describe why but Cazorla looks naturally ambidextrous whereas Ronaldo doesn't at all, yet I can barely remember a point where Ronaldo's looked uncomfortable doing anything on his left foot. Maybe it's something to do with having a natural inclination to take a first touch with his stronger foot? No idea. Just looks like he's worked on it loads. And that's not one of those backhanded compliments either - I think Bobby Charlton and Best were both the same.
I think of all the players he has had down the years C.Ronaldo is the best player he managed and I think it hurts him deeply that he couldn't keep him here for the rest of his career. He felt he couldn't stand in the way of the guys dreams and C.Ronaldo left on good terms. I don't think under Ferguson any other player player has left during their peak but I think as they had a very good relationship he wasn't going to mess him about. He is man of his word, he asked him for another year and then he would leave so he played another year.
Decent performance from him last night, and a very good header. Not quite on the level of his header against Roma (probably my favourite ever headed goal) but still, brilliant stuff.
As for his celebration, I can safely say he could have gone wild and I wouldn't have given two shits. He's scored a goal for his team in huge Champions League game, celebrate away for all I care.

I doubt he was pointing to the Madrid Crowd most likely he was pointing to where his mother and his son always are thats usually what he does.
I think not! He is a magnificent player, but the feeling I got from a lot of fans was that he was going to run rings around us, which didn't really materialise.
I guess a clarification is in order.
By a newbie (I think so).
antiphysicist said:You're wrong about hang time, the rules of physics say that his centre of mass must follow a parabolic path but that's his centre of mass, not his head. By jumping with your legs/arms in a high position, then throwing them down afterwards you can extend the period your head is at the peak height. That's high school physics
By a newbie (I think so).
The 'hang in the air' is an optical illusion which appears when the jumping player meets the a ball at exactly the time he is weighless and stationary.
Don't know if this has been posted, from the Castrol Edge twitter account:
What!? You mean, he wasn't levitating?
SAF reminding Ronaldo of the way in which we used to back him to the hilt, in contrast to his situation at Madrid.
Makes me wonder if he could slam dunk as well. He probably could.
