Losing Mr. Legacy Cristiano Ronaldo
In a question of days Cristiano will be officially unveiled as a Juventus player. Most fans would admit that even with all the recent drama we didn’t really expect Cristiano to leave. It seems every year there is speculation or Cristiano is unhappy with something (like Spanish tax authority) but always continues to play at the best club in the world. Probably the biggest reason we didn’t expect him to leave was the question, who could buy him? We couldn’t see Cristiano loosing prestige by going to the French Ligue 1 to play for PSG while still being a prolific goal scorer, nor could we envision a huge club doling out in insane amounts of cash for a player near the end of his career. Yet, that is exactly what happened, leaving many fans in disbelief. Many Juventus supporters may feel like casino online jackpot winners landing the world’s greatest player alongside Messi.
Now we can only imagine how Manchester United supporters were heartbroken when Cristiano left Old Trafford. The 6 years he spent with United were wildly successful culminating in his first Champions League title and Balon d’Or. As Madridistas we at least have the consolation that his best years are behind him as a player and that we had the very best Cristiano in the prime of his career. Not to mention we received an amazing transfer fee for a player about to turn 34 and we no longer have to pay his hefty wage.
