Cristiano Ronaldo best striker in history: hat-trick in Manchester United-Tottenham, overtaken Bican

CR7 marks Manchester United-Tottenham with three goals and overtakes Bican in the all-time top scorer

Cristiano Ronaldo writes history once more: from tonight he is the best scorer in every era of football. To reach this goal, the Portuguese chooses the modality that is congenial to him, that of the champion: he scores three goals in Manchester United-Tottenham and not only drags his team to success against Conte’s Spurs, but enters the red carpet in the history of football . It could have been the decisive match for overtaking. Instead, it was another demonstration of the excessive power of CR7, United’s driver despite the rumors of the last week. Antonio Conte’s Tottenham is defeated by Old Trafford due to Cristiano’s hat-trick, which reaches 807 goals in matches officially recognized by FIFA and becomes the best goalscorer in football history by detaching Josef Bican. Attending the CR7 show was an American football legend like Tom Brady who spent a few minutes with the Portuguese before the match.

Before referee Moss kicked off, only two points separated the guests from the Red Devils, now in the Champions League zone and +5. Rangnick’s team is, however, the only one – among those chasing fourth place – with no matches to recover: Kane and his teammates, in fact, have two more matches to play.

CR7 factor

Already in the first 10 ‘of the game, Ronaldo is the nightmare of Conte’s defense: at 7’ he frees himself to shoot but shoots high, shortly after he kicks on goal from inside the area and finds the deviation with Dier’s arm. For the referee it is not a penalty, so Cristiano resolves it in his own way: at 12 ‘the former Juve receives the ball on the frontline, controls and kicks from distance in the seven to the right of Lloris. The 1-0 goal shocked the Spurs, who first came close to a draw with Reguillon and then scored with Davies, who was however in an offside position. At 27 ‘Dier displaces De Gea with a header but the ball does not cross the goal line due to a providential intervention by Telles. The Brazilian full-back is the unfortunate person responsible for the 1-1: on Kulusevski’s cross he intercepts the ball with his hand, for the referee this time it is a penalty and Kane equalizes the score from the spot. The score of 1-1 lasts only 3 minutes, in the 38th minute Sancho enters the area and serves the Cristiano center who makes no mistake.

Maguire disaster

In the second half, Tottenham pushed to resume the game: at 61 ‘Son, on an assist from Kulusevski, tried the shot that ended slightly to the side. Five minutes later, Lloris denied CR7’s hat-trick, while Spurs equalized in the 72nd minute after Maguire’s mistake: the United captain slipped into the box to prevent Romero from reaching Reguillon’s cross, but his touch sent the ball behind De Gea. The response of the Red Devils, for a change, comes again with Ronaldo who, after having touched the 3-2 with an outside shot, finds him with a header: Telles corner kick, the Portuguese gathers power and you take the ball home. Adding another prestigious chapter to the legend of him.
