Tonight!!! Ronaldo vs Manchester United...A reunion of the ages!

                      Tonight, the focus and attention is going to be on one man, unarguably one of the greatest footballers of all time - christiano ronaldo as he returns to old trafford aka the theatre of dreams - the place where every team's worst nightmare comes true (at least, used to come true). It's red against black. Who will emerge victorious as the old lady of turin battles with the red devils of manchester. The match promises to be a spectacle,with both teams boasting a squad that has every capability to carry the day.

                        Ronaldo is set to reunite with his former employers once again since leaving the club in 2009 for (a then mouth-watering) 80million pounds deal - A transfer that would see him win (in the next 9 years that ensued) two la liga titles, four balon-do'rs, four champions league trophies, three uefa super cups,four fifa club world cups, two copa del rey cups as well as many other individual trophies.

                        Though, the superstar has been recently involved in a rape scandal, the 34-year old has refused to let the morass distract him from enjoying the beautiful game. he said and i quote: 'i am always smiling. i am a happy man, i'm blessed that i play in a fantastic club, i have a fantastic family, i have four kids, i am healthy. i have everything. so the rest, it dosen't interfere on me. I'm very, very well'. From his statement, it is clear that the ex-Madrid man's love for football is unshakable
                        He said: 'To return here to Manchester is a huge emotion. when i saw the draw, i remembered the history i made here..'. he also added 'i won all the trophies here: champions league, leagues,cups. i remembered the fans and i remember one of the people who helped me most, Sir Alex Ferguson.'
                        Cr7 isn't the only one set for a 'tough' reunion though. Paul Pogba left Juventus for man utd in 2016 for a reported 89million pounds deal that saw his agent pocket an amount believed to be in the region of 40million pounds - a figure that we can only drool over...lol. Looking in retrospect, you may not be off point if you imagine man utd regretting their decision to let the French superstar go for a nominal fee 4 years earlier.

                        The french man though has failed to live up to the hefty price tag and has struggled with form as well as consistency since his world record fee -arrival. Not withstanding though, he has shown flashes of his talent in several matches, reminding man utd fans of his potency and skill on the pitch...he just needs to do it more often.
                        As the clock ticks and the eleventh hour approaches, the faithfuls of both clubs warm up to cheer their teams to glory. It is expected that Mourinho will put measures in place to try to curtail Ronaldo's movements and shorten the ball supply to him. De Gea will no doubt be on his toes for the entire game, as he will most definitely not want a repeat of his horrible performance against spain in the world cup. Ronaldo proved his ruthlessness in front of goal over the weekend and will most definitely be eager to do the same again.

                        Juventus on the other hand, have been linked to Martial in the past and will definitely be weary of the speedster's dribbling skills and his ability to create something out of nothing. The 22 year old is in fine form and should be the man utd player to watch. The Juventus central defence will most definitely keep their eyes on Lukaku. Though the big man is in poor form, he has consistently shown his heading prowess.
                        This promises to be a captivating and enthralling match. Enjoy and cheer your favourite club to victory. I think though, that Juventus will take this by a 2-1 scoreline. It's just a random prediction anyway. Enjoy the game.
