The one time I refused to believe, he actually scored lmao.

Tbf he looks more surprised to have scored it than I did when I saw that he scored a freekick

"How did I just make that....oh right, I'm me."

They told him United could miss out on top 4 and he went God mode. This man just loves to save clubs and careers I swear, he could probably get a club from the relegation zone to UCL football just like that

“i will eat my hat if ronaldo scores this free kick” - me 5 seconds before ronaldo scored the free kick

How did it taste?

[удалено]

He did a hat trick

ah you clever cunt. that was great

Fucking genius, lmao

A funny joke on r/soccer? What next?

Ronaldo scoring a free kick? Pfft, yeah right

Bon appétit

Lmao same, i am a big ronaldo fan but even i was like „tf ronaldo taking the free kick for man“ lol

Yeah, whenever I'm watching the Portuguese NT I always let out a big sigh whenever he prepares to take the fk, especially when Bruno was almost always on fk duty in Sporting, and was great at it, Raphael Guerreiro also has a great foot, and Ronaldo either goes full send knocks down a satellite or buries it in some poor bloke's body. Yet when he always seems to be able to come in clutch.

It feels like he only scores clutch ones now Vs Spain and today

Only scores when a hatrick is on the line.

Only 4 years since the Spain one

Yea he’s been that bad lately lmao. I know he had just one with Juve. And maybe one with Portugal in that timespan. It’s really like once a year lol

I was 100% sure he would hit the wall lol

Mad Ronaldo best Ronaldo

Post phone smack Ronaldo best Ronaldo

Holy shit its been 84 years

Ronaldo's last free kick goal was against Torino in 2020 Ronaldo's last free kick goal for United was against City in 2009 Been a long wait regardless

Didn’t he score a free kick against Sweden in 2020 during an international break in fall?

yep it was his 100th international goal

So he only scores free kicks for landmark goals (his 50th league hat trick today)

and 60th career hat trick

His "once in a year" free kick banger

Sooo there won’t be one in Qatar?

unsubscribe

[Well, it looks like the World Cup final will be Netherlands vs Portugal and we all know whether this FK will go in...](https://youtu.be/DBrA6LNx0cE?t=153)

For thousands of years I lay dormant

WHO HAS DISTURBED MY?! oh it's you

Explain, idiot We found another Ronaldo hattrick

Free-kick Ronaldo hits different

Since he has left real Madrid how many goals did Madrid score from fk? People told me he was holding Isco back

Ramos, Bale ,Benzema were decent takers. I don't remember Madridistas wanting Isco specifically to take the fk. Maybe it was rival fans who disrespected Ronaldo. Bale was equal or better to many. Also ,James was very good too. But, I don't think Madrid fans seriously considered any of them as he was already sharing it with Bale. Juve was different as Pjanic and Dybala had good records. But, I don't think neither of them have good records after they don't play with him anymore. Messi suddenly becoming so lethal more than before got people questioning him really more than anything imo. Ronaldo also definitely got worse . That is also true. I don't understand why he doesn't curl half of the times. He's actually good when he tries it. But , he's stubborn in doing the knuckle ball and I think that's the most stupid part of his game..like can't you just switch it up much more?

Isco?🤣

That was the conversation back then, believe it or not. Isco would score a lot of goals if Ronaldo let him take the fk lmao

Isco barely plays now so we’ll never know

*surprised Pikachu face*

*surprised ~~Pikachu~~ Pukkichu face*

For real when was the last time he scored a Free kick?

Sweden in the Nations League, late 2020.

i think he scored once for juve

It was against Torino in 2020

Saving his team once again... 37 year old. Damn

tap-in, header, free-kick

The ronaldo special

I love how the "Ronaldo special" changes every time

Thats the Ronaldo Special! SEWEY

Simple as that bro

Krista Ronaldo, baby!

Hes scored so many goals, simply scoring is a ronaldo special.

Goals have now been renamed 'ronaldos' in his honour

Nah the special would be a pen instead

Still time

Man was genuinely surprised it went in he didn't even sui

Ronaldo has scored the same number of goals in this match as Messi has scored in Ligue 1 this season. Timeless.

Again

Is it 08

He's determined to carry United's cold, dead corpse across the finish line

He will do everything he can to not miss UCL, I hope

Probably has a clause to nope the fuck out

Hey we can’t be picky at this point I’ll fucking take it 😭

Fine. I'll do it myself

Spurs all again.

"HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT"

Dread from it, run from it.

Header, tap in and Fk. Reminiscent of Wolfsburg hat trick.

That fk was something else tho. It went to only place where it could pass the players. It was something else really. And it was 6 years ago damn.

The Portsmouth one I think is his best. Literally the perfect free kick. EDIT: [this one](https://youtu.be/t0dgGSFWhno)

If he’s scoring free kicks, God himself wants us to get top 4

God, Brighton and Southampton.

And West Ham? Please?

aged well.

Seriously, despite United's effort, you guys still came out with the 3 points. Top 4 is achievable.

Smashing a kid's phone somehow buffed his freekick stats

Phone is a registered squad member of Everton if you didn’t know.

Ruthlessness +1 | (Secret Buff) Free Kick Shot Power +1

Dread it, run from it...

Scripted! 50th club hatttrick. At OT.

2 hattricks in the league in one season after having 1 since RVP in like 7 years Of course it had to be him Edit: 2 since RVP Forgot about Bruno’s

Probably the only 37 year-old to have two hattricks in a top 5 league? I am just assuming.

It's one of these stats where you can be quite confident in that statement without looking it up.

I don’t think anyone got two hat tricks aged 37+. There’s Claudio Pizarro, Teddy Sheringham, Joaquin, Silvio Piola and Tony Carascino who’ve scored a hat trick 37+ but not sure if they’ve done it twice.

Surprised Ibra didn’t manage it

Shows the gulf in class. Bang average season but gets in two PL hattricks.

Shows how high his standards are, when he's tied for 3rd as the best goal-scorer in the league, as a 37-year-old, and people say he's having an "average season" which, to be fair, I would somewhat agree.

He’s 37 and plays for a piss poor team. He would’ve been so much better for City

I hate how right you are.

We also got one from Bruno against Leeds

With still plenty of games for him to get another hat trick in!

The phone scandal was merely CR7 finding new ways to motivate himself for this game. He really does seem to find a new level when people are ragging on him. How many other premier league footballers can use a clout chasing council estate Mum as fuel for a hat trick? It sure isn't traditional and by the book, you won't see coaches teaching it but it seems to work for him. Keep on slapping those Scouse kids Ronnie, we know it comes from a good place.

Incensed Ronaldo is the most dangerous Ronaldo.

It goes angry Ronaldo (see the games after the Simeone genital thingy and after Blatter made fun of him), noodle hair Ronaldo, moustache Ronaldo, Ronaldo and last but not least secretly injured Ronaldo.

Noodle hair Ronaldo was something else

Top Ramenaldo

One day we'll have grey hair ronaldo leading Lisbon to ucl

With a little more words this could be an epic copypasta

It’s true though. Ronaldo always seems to find an extra gear if he gets heavily criticised before the match

That mentality is what the rest of this squad needs

Great but why we need Ronaldo to save our arse vs Norwich

If United get top 4 the rest of the league need to hang their heads in shame. We are fucking terrible.

Could not agree more. Most of our players aren't arsed, some are in terrible form, a few good ones injured. How are we even drawing let alone winning games is unbelievable.

Ronaldo now has 20+ Goals with one of the worst united sides ive ever seen in my life, truly his greatest achievement

This sounds like Jose saying his greatest achievement was 2nd with utd. Vibes

It's not really fair if we get to have Pukki and you dont get to have Ronaldo

Wtf is he allowed to do that anymore?

Judging by his reaction, it looks like even he was surprised that it went in.

I think he was just more happy to take the lead and not draw home against fucking Norwich

He did it for the story. Could not fuck that one up.

Somethings wrong I can feel it.

Ronaldo saw that Pukki v Ronaldo graphic from earlier this week and took that personally.

*Michael Jordan intensifies* Jokes aside though, I can't wait to see The Last Siu documentary on netflix

what the fuck

SIIIIIIUUUUU!!!

[удалено]

surely needs an nsfw tag

Fun fact: This was Uniteds first win in over a month. In their last win, Ronaldo also scored a hat-trick. I think its pretty safe to say that he isn't the problem.

Well, if LeBron doesn't score 50, the Lakers lose.

This fact is not fun for United.

Christ

It's one of those days again.

Clutch just being clutch.

21 goals in this United side. Keep Ronaldo’s name out yo fucking mouth.

I can’t wait to see G.I. Ron Ron

Lol. This has become a top class meme.

Line up every child in Manchester and let him play whack a mole. Human plot armour.

loool

SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

WHAT THE

HE FUCKIGN SCORED A FREEKICK LETS FUCKING GOO

2008 me is shedding a tear right now. Nostalgia.

I don’t expect that to go in tbh, good strike

This is like the Spain world cup game.

One of his best games. He was the embodiment of inevitable that day.

I would call Sweden game. Where he was embodiment of inevitable.

Without Ronaldo we would of finished 3rd in that CL group and be 11th in the league yet people still say hes the problem….. nuts

No mate, without him we would have won the treble, can't you see he is the problem

We won treble in 99 without him. He's the problem

Damn that 14 year old Christiano, holding Man U back in 1999

They're absolutely delusional just like juventus fans who said the same thing.

Wait! Is this the same guy that was United’s problem

When it comes to United, pundits and "journalists" will manufacture controversy with our best players any time we are struggling because it gets clicks. Then gullible morons from our fanbase and around the world will buy into it and soon enough some awful talking points are common.

Unfortunately, people are so stupid nowadays

Lol all those articles are pure clickbait garbage if you are talking about Ten Hag And Ronaldo not being in plans, problem child etc.. man is machine

He only scored 3, finished

SEWEY

simple as that bro

Crista Ronaldo

Krister Ronaldow

Two Jealous👍

Dreams can’t be buy

Two jealous so he scored three

Factos

Simple as that

NO FUCKING WAY

Is every single fucking goal he has scored for united an important one?? From losing to tie, or losing to “less losing” or tying to winning? Does anyone know? Every single goal i remember he’s always scored an important one, it’s never a 3-0 to 4-0

Only one of His goals this season was “stat pad” , every single one of the others were win or tie

Yet people are still braindead enough to say he's holding the team back...

Yh literally every goal he’s scored this season has been important, only the goal against Burnley in December wasn’t a tieing or winning goal, he scored it when they were 2-0 up

We haven’t had many 3-0 leads. All our games have been struggles.

Wait I thought that was illegal?

Get in here ladsss siuuuu

Inshallah hehehe

The kid's phone was sacrificed for this

Could've been the best day of his life.

At this point Maguire will score an OG to overshadow Ronaldo

There are a lot of things wrong with United, Ronaldo ain't one of them.

He is the Goat of soccer in my opinion. Not saying any other player isn’t but in my humble opinion he is the greatest! I am a Manchester United fan so I might have some bias lol

Flashback CR7

TRIPLE SUIII

NO FUCKIGN WAY A RONALDO FREE KICK GOAL IN 2022

PSG academy is such a hater. Won't put great goal tags on any of Ronaldo's goals and also won't put hat trick next to his hat trick goals.

*Amazing goal*: European commentators: Goal! What a nice and stunning goal! Latin relators: LE VA A PEGAR AHI ESTÁ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PERO QUE DEFINICIÓN, QUE GOLAZO, DEFINIÓ COMO LOS MORTALES SOLO SOÑAMOS, LA CLAVÓ AL ANGULO CON UNA BOLEA IMPRESIONANTE TOTALMENTE IMPARABLE PARA EL PORTERO! VA A QUEDAR PARA LA HISTORIA! EN ESTE CONTEXTO, ESTA JUGADA, ESTA VOLEA! ESTE GO-LA-ZO! SEÑORAS Y SEÑORES, LO HIZO HENRIQUE! FLAMENGO 2! LIGA DE QUITO 1!

Arab commentators: " gol gool gol gool gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol gol"

he always scores his FKs when he’s on a hat trick

Vintage Cristiano is in the house!

r/soccer's day ruined lmao...

They assured me he would never score from those again

I genuinely think the average r/soccer user thinks free kicks are basically the 3-point shot of soccer and you should be scoring them 33-40% of the time

Had to be him

He was so surprised he actually scored lmao.

His eyes became so wide lol. Like that Factos one 👀 just eyeballs in the middle

The madlad did it!

ronaldo heard everyone talking shit about his free kicks

The best "liability" in club football

The biggest liability is that rancid defense

Where’s the GREAT GOAL tag???? Mods????

Damn he's solo carrying us.

There’s just something so satisfying about seeing Ronaldo score a free kick in a Manchester United jersey.

Lmao of course

Fuck me, what a rollercoaster this match is

Ronaldo vs united

'the problem' my ass. These people have no shame. Imagine looking at man u and give Ronny the blame. Im glad he is proving them wrong.

The kid should've accepted the free ticket to Old Trafford

Well one word SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
