Look who won the last Messi vs Cristiano who had the Portuguese out of the starting team
Cristiano Ronaldo might not be able to play the match against FC Barcelona, what happened the last time he was out?
CR7 movement to Juventus made everybody sad about not seeing him play against Lionel Messi as often as we were used to. Now he is the key player for Juventus in the Serie A but also in the Champions League. The team now has to face FC Barcelona, but it is very unlikely for the Portuguese to make it to the match.
The COVID-19 tests were positive for Cristiano this week, but when was the last time that he could not start a match against Lionel Messi? It was in the Spanish Super Cup of 2017. Real Madrid won the league that year and FC Barcelona the Copa del Rey. That match ended up 1-3 in Madrid, that ended up with the Supercup trophy.
That time, Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and the coach Zinedine Zidane said that he would put him on the bench and only use him as a last resource. That’s why he appeared at the minute 60 when the match was 1-1. He scored the winning goal and the saw a red cart 10 minutes before the match finished.
Fortunately for him, Marco Asensio scored the third goal and Madrid fans celebrated. The only goal that day in Barcelona was for Messi and that was the very last time that we saw a Ronaldo team without Ronaldo versos FC Barcelona, but apparently it will not be the last one.
