Cristiano Ronaldo, a legend of Manchester United, wrote something on Instagram during his team’s loss to Chelsea. The Red Devils lost to Chelsea in the last seconds of play for the twelfth time in their Premier League history.
Conor Gallagher’s opening goal after four minutes gave the Blues a two-goal lead, which Cole Palmer doubled after 19 minutes. Just before halftime, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes scored two goals in five minutes to give Erik ten Hag’s team a point.
After 67 minutes, Garnacho scored his second goal of the evening to give United the lead. United were poised to win the league for the first time since defeating Everton 2-0 at the start of March.
But just as they did on Saturday against Brentford, they suffered late on as Palmer equalized from the penalty spot before taking advantage of a mistake made by the visitors’ defense. The boyhood United supporter’s equalizer and his unexpecteԀ victory in the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time separated by a mere 82 seconds.
Shortly before the final whistle was blown by Jared Gillett, Ronaldo—who moved from United to Al Nassr in 2022—posted on Instagram, writing, “Happy days.”Ten Hag was the one who, upon the Portuguese hero’s arrival from Ajax, turned the pages. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Dutchman’s predecessor, hired Ronaldo, and his presence divided opinion and sparked criticism. Ronaldo is a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The seasoned assailant stated in a interview with Piers Morgan: “Listen, I don’t care, I’m always… TrutҺ should be heard by everybody.He doesn’t respect me, so I don’t have respect for him.
“If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.”
