The great battle with Chelsea witnessed the bravery and impressive performance of Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the worst season in history MU. But with what he has shown, Ronaldo still has the right to be satisfied with himself.

Ronaldo is really a rare bright spot of MU

After the early match of the 37th round of the Premier League against Chelsea, Cristiano Ronaldo had 17 goals in the English Premier League. The 37-year-old has the same scoring record as Son Heung Min and is only behind Mohamed Salah, who has 22 goals.

In fact, in the last 4 matches of Premier League, MU only scored 5 goals and those were all goals from Cristiano Ronaldo. Before the match against Chelsea, the Portuguese star also scored an honorable goal for the “Red Devils” in the 1-3 loss to Arsenal.

Moreover, there is a very remarkable number about Cristiano Ronaldo. Accordingly, he is the king of the top 5 when he has shot into the net of the top 5 teams in the Premier League this season (Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham) a total of 8 goals. No player in the English Premier League has such a good record.

Accordingly, CR7 has 4 goals against Tottenham, 3 against Arsenal and 1 against Chelsea. Unfortunately, the owner of 5 Golden Ball titles could not score against Man City and Liverpool. Particularly with Liverpool, MU lost 0-9 in both out and back matches. As for Man City, “Red Devils” also only have 1 goal, which is Jadon Sancho’s goal.

Behind Ronaldo in terms of goalscoring record against clubs in the top 5 in the Premier League are Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Odsonne Edouard. All 4 of these players have 4 goals, only half that of CR7.

In the rest of the way, if Ronaldo scores more than 2 goals, he will become the player to score the most goals in a Premier League season for MU since the 2012/2013 season. The current record belongs to Bruno Fernandes with 18 goals in the 2020/2021 season.

Ronaldo has 3 matches left with Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace to set a new scoring record for himself. The three matches mentioned above will most likely be three “procedural” matches with MU when this team has almost run out of chances to enter the top 4.
