Real Madrid vs Manchester City : Five things to look for
By Vijay Vemu
4. Cristiano Ronaldo back in England again
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world and every time he comes back to England, it’s an event. Ronaldo, who played at Manchester United for a number of years, will come back to play against Man U’s rivals in their stadium. He has fared well against English clubs including his last trip to England, against Liverpool at Anfield. Ronaldo scored a great volley to help Madrid win a group stage match in the Champions League.
It will be a chance for one of the best players in the world to show his trade once again and show England what they used to see every week when he was at Manchester United. He’s a more mature Ronaldo and a more refined goal scorer. He will be a very tough assignment for the Manchester City defense especially right back Pablo Zabaleta who will likely mark Ronaldo down the wing. But it has to be a total team effort to stop him, or try to slow him. If Manchester City’s defense goes to sleep for a second he could make them pay or use his skill and pace to set up his teammates for an easy goal.
We all saw against Wolfsburg how dangerous he can be and how he still is the Ronaldo we all either love or hate.
