Watch Ronaldo’s important goals in the video window above!
Cristiano Ronaldo is about to save Manchester United again!
TV 2 commentator Oyvind Al-Saker shouted when Cristiano Ronaldo scored the equalizer for Manchester United two minutes into extra time.
– It’s almost impossible to believe. Expert commentator Jesper Mathiesen said he decides matches over and over again.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men were on their way to a disappointing loss, but the Portuguese once again demonstrated his importance. While United struggled in Italy, Villarreal did the job against the Young Boys.
Like the confrontation between the two teams at Old Trafford, Manchester United got off to a terrible start, but this time they failed to change it.
But they managed to get one point. Thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo.

TV 2 expert thinks the overtime goal should have been scrapped
After returning to Manchester, Ronaldo proved to be a savior for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. In several matches, the Portuguese saved the big club during the last minutes of the match.
It was a difficult match, but I helped my team in one point. I’m very happy. “We never give up and we have complete confidence,” Ronaldo said after the match.
When both teams went into overtime minutes, Manchester United were third in the group. Which gives the Europa League a place. Ronaldo’s goal in extra time ensures Solskjaer’s men retain the place that would give them a promotion to the Champions League play-offs.
The difference between zero and one point is huge, says TV 2 football expert Simen Stamsø-Møller.
– They live dangerously, but Ronaldo once again gets them out of prison, he adds.
But TV 2 expert Simen Stamsø-Møller asked questions about the judgment on Ronaldo’s goal in extra time.
– There’s a hand on Mason Greenwood. You can clearly see that it is against the arm. Stamsø Muller says he didn’t mean to do this, but the ball hit his arm.
– I can not understand that it should not be hands.
The beginning of the nightmare for Manchester United
Solskjær’s men came to their first big chance in the match. Scott McTominay showed great effort turning from the right, but the visitors’ goalkeeper managed to clear the ball away.
The match clock had just ten minutes past when Duvan Zapata found Josip Ilicic in front of goal. The Slovenian finish ended in the middle of the goal, but David de Gea failed to stop the shot.
Ilicic sends Bergamo to heaven
– Once again, Manchester United will be asked to return this fall, said TV 2 commentator Oyvind Alsaker.

Dream scoring by Manchester United
Three minutes before the break, Solskjaer was on his way. Mason Greenwood made a big block, though. With a nice heel kick, he finds his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, who can easily guarantee an equaliser.
The Portuguese goal 138 (!) in the Champions League.
– Football party, shouted Al-Sakir.
– It’s a work of art of class, judged by TV 2 expert commentator Jesper Mathisen.

Resist Atalanta after the VAR drama
After 55 minutes, Duván Zapata suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing. Harry Maguire tried hard to interfere, but the Colombian managed to control the ball into the goal.
We had to wait a long time for the VAR decision
Seconds later, the referee blew up for offside. Replays showed Maguire made a move to put the force tip into an offside position, but after the VAR room considered the situation for three minutes, Zapata was able to let go of the cheers.
Thus the goal was stopped and Atalanta returned to the fore.
Terrible defensive play by Maguire, Matissen’s referee.
HAIRY: Duván Zapata deceived United’s defense as he brought Atalanta back into the lead.
The match went against United losing, but after two minutes of extra time the savior appeared. Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese hit the ball into the goal and ensured United retained the place to advance to the qualifying rounds in the Champions League.
