As a five-time winner of the Champions League (once with Manchester United and four times with Real Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest connoisseurs of the competition. Yesterday, on the sidelines of the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony where his speech on multiple subjects, including Ligue 1, got people talking, CR7 spoke on the subject.
Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously banking on Real Madrid
Because a journalist ventured a question about Cristiano Ronaldo’s prediction for the current edition of the Champions League. And according to him, there is no doubt that his beloved Real Madrid is still the favorite despite its far from ideal start to the season, while Manchester City will eventually return to the race in his eyes.
“In football, you never know what can happen. Teams have their moments. Manchester City are going through a tough time right now, but I’m 100% sure they will come back. Guardiola is a very intelligent coach and he will know where the problem comes from. It’s the same for Real Madrid, they said it was a bad season and here they are. If I had to bet on the winner of the Champions League this year, I would bet on Madrid. The Bernabéu is different and teams are afraid when they play there. It’s a fact,” said the Portuguese striker.
