Cristiano Ronaldo once again failed to score, but he was able to directly contribute to one of Manchester United's goals in the match against Omonia, in the third round of the Europa League. The forward attempted to score a goal, but the shot he took fell to Marcus Rashford, who made it 3-1 in Cyprus.
Minutes before, 'CR7' had an incredible opportunity in front of the goal, but he missed it. However, just as his entire career shows, the Portuguese star keeps moving forward and goes for more for his team. That's how he always positioned himself in the finishing area.
In fact, Cristiano positioned himself just a few meters away from Rashford. Both of them sprinted to face Omonia's defensive line. The 'Red Devils' number 10, just a few meters outside the penalty area, passed the ball to Ronaldo. The captain of Portugal did his best to find the right angle.
When the attacker of the 'Red Devils' felt comfortable, he took a powerful shot towards the far post. It could have gone wide, but Marcus was there to stretch his leg and add the goal. This way, United reached the 3-1 lead.
First assist
Cristiano's production with United is reduced to the assist in Cyprus and a goal against Sheriff. Both in Europa League matches. In the Premier League, the superstar didn't score or provide assists. Moreover, he is not even a starter. Until today, he was only crucial in one of the goals of his national team against the Czech Republic.
