In a focus battle in the Champions League quarter-finals that ended in the early morning of March 16, Beijing time, Manchester United, sitting at home, lost 0-1 to Atletico Madrid and was eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 1-2. When the final whistle sounded, 51-year-old Atletico madrid coach Simeone excitedly ran with open arms to celebrate.
At Old Trafford, the flamboyant Argentine "gangster" did not hide his joy in the slightest. Perhaps because the celebration was so arrogant, Simeone even nearly hit the drink bottle dropped by the Manchester United fans in the stands when he walked into the players' tunnel. Simeone is indeed worth celebrating, because with Atletico eliminating Manchester United this season, his atletico has also beaten the team that Cristiano Ronaldo played for the first time in nearly 8 years.
Looking back at the Champions League record of Simeone and C Ronaldo in the past 8 years, it is simply a "bitter history" of the Argentine coach. The first Time the two sides played out in the Champions League was in the Champions League final in 2013-14, when Atletico Madrid lost 1-4 to Real Madrid, for Ronaldo, in which President Luo scored a goal.
The following season, Atletico and Real Madrid met again in the Quarter-finals of the Champions League, and atletico remained a loser 0-1. Cristiano Ronaldo was the only assister to score in two legs. In the 2015-16 season, the two sides met again in the Champions League final, and Atletico once again lost to Real Madrid on penalties. Ronaldo's penalty in the 5th round was decided.
In the semi-finals of the 2016-17 Champions League, Atletico once again met Real Madrid. This time C Luo was more courageous, and the hat-trick in the first leg directly ended the suspense early. In the 2018-19 season, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juve, but he is still a "Atletico nemesis". Despite Juve's loss in the first leg, President Luo made a big splash in the second leg and scored a hat-trick to help the Bianconeri turn over 3-2.
After eight years, Simeone finally managed to score two legs in the Champions League, allowing the 37-year-old Ronaldo to score zero. Although it is regrettable that Ronaldo bid farewell to the Champions League early, we still have to send heartfelt applause to Simeone's fierceness that does not believe in fate.
