Five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently playing for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr, recently revealed the only club that does not want to swap shirts. This was reported by Championat, citing Give Me Sport.
“They asked me not to score against Roma”
Ronaldo recalled an unusual incident during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Roma in the 2006/07 season:
“In the 2007 match against Roma, the score was 6:0. They asked us to stop. The opposing players requested not to score. Some even threatened to injure me. For this reason, I have never swapped shirts with Roma players and I will not do so,” said the Portuguese forward.
Historic night at Old Trafford — 7:1
It is worth noting that on that bright night in 2007, although Manchester United lost the first leg in Rome 1:2, they defeated Roma 7:1 in the return match at Old Trafford. Ronaldo scored two goals in that match, marking an important stage in his European career.
From the Zamin.uz editorial team:
Cristiano Ronaldo has witnessed many great rivals and major finals throughout his career. However, that night against Roma seems to have left a completely different mark in his memory. How do you evaluate Ronaldo's confession?
