Cristiano Ronaldo broke last night (Tuesday) in the drought of six games when he scored in Manchester United's 0-2 win over Brighton, as part of a rematch in the Premier League.
The Red Devils rose to fourth place and the Portuguese star released a lot of air with a first goal in 2022.
It turns out that Ronaldo also had a hard time getting on the agenda for the festive day and posted a message to the networks: "We are back on track because no one is giving up. The only way to get back to business is to work hard individually and in groups. Everything else is just noise."
Back on track!
Nobody gives up and there's only one way to get back on track: hard work, team work, serious work.
Everything else is just noise.
Let's go Devils! 🔴⚫️💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/u8sZzzJQn5

At the end of the game, Manchester United coach Ralph Rangnick actually complimented the Portuguese: "It was his best game in a few weeks. Cristiano was very energetic and for 90 minutes he tried for his friends on the pitch. As he always does."
Messi is 35 in June.
Ronaldo has just turned 37. We should probably lower our expectations.
They still do wonderful things, but not even these footballing Gods can defy father time forever.

Against the backdrop of Leo Messi's penalty miss against Real Madrid that took place in the seconds that Cristiano found the net at Old Trafford, who was a little less enthusiastic about the ability of the two great icons in world football, was Gary Lineker, who tweeted: Messi is already 35, Ronaldo has just turned 37. Apparently we need to lower our expectations.
They're still doing wonderful things, but even these 'football gods' can't beat time ... ".

Lower expectations ?,
