El Día que Ronaldo Enfrentó a Su Casa | Documental | GusBol Docus

The Night Cristiano Returned Home and Retired Sir Alex On March 5, 2013, football witnessed an epic clash in the Champions League Round of 16: Manchester United versus Real Madrid at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo stepped onto the Theatre of Dreams for the first time as an opponent. After an intense first half where Sir Alex Ferguson's tactics stifled Madrid, history took a turn. An own goal by Sergio Ramos ignited the home side's hopes, but Nani's controversial straight red card changed the course of the tie. Mourinho responded by bringing on Luka Modrić, who equalized with a right-footed shot into the top corner. Minutes later, the prodigal son sealed the victory against his former team: CR7 scored the decisive 2-1. Keeping his promise, he didn't celebrate, only apologized to a divided crowd. Nobody knew it that night, but this tragic elimination would be Sir Alex Ferguson's last Champions League match in charge. Real Madrid advanced, fueled by their obsession with La Décima (the tenth European Cup/Champions League title). Do you think the refereeing favored Real Madrid that night?
