All point to Rooney when the real threat the United just takes some time in Europe, which was enough to ‘retire’ with names like Owen or Berbatov. In addition, his scoring average is the best in the continent

So, at first, still does not sound too. However, for ‘Chicharito’, yes it is much more localized. He is the secret weapon of Ferguson, the side which bears the burden of carrying the surprise to the crowd. By drawing a parallel with Barca player, is “the Peter of Manchester “.

Chicharito (his nickname comes in two versions: one, the legacy of his father, another round his head like a pea) signed for United from Guadalajara Mexico in exchange for 9 million euros, a price that has quadrupled in its first year in England after making 20 goals in all competitions.

But the relevant figure that rises to this player is not the sum of goal, but their success in front of goal. Not surprisingly, Chicharito, used to playing the final minutes on the first leg of the season, the player with the best average shots / goals in Europe in the league (13 goals / 35 shots, less than three shots needed to score).

A star in Mexico

Obviously a move to United has opened the door rounder popularity Javier Hernandez, who in the United relegated to the bench to Berbatov, who cost the ‘Red Devils’ four times the previous year. In your country (with whom they already played the World Cup, scoring against France as well), it is quite a personality.

Interestingly, Chicharito has also modeled, so far, the path of the fictional character played Kuno Becker in the movie “Goal”, A Mexican who booked first by United, and after the Madrid, where his career was falling apart . At the moment, and rang in the winter to cover the drop in Higuain.

His two goals against Almeria have left the Portuguese with a total and absolute record in Spanish football. Is the top scorer and virtually Insatiable the Golden Boot.

Get these records through a season finale for framing. Eleven goals in four games. Another record in the white club where you put your name Cristiano. By the time the others lower their arms. Bringing out the high competitive nature when nothing is at stake.

His first league goal came in the third round. With controversy. Gave the win to Real Madrid in Anoeta with a free-kick that hit Pepe, who was the referee gave both the record. His worst streak coincided with the only injury that shrank this season. A muscle tear he played ailing several days.

His numbers from another planet magnified with eight doubles, four hat-tricks (Athletic, Malaga, Getafe and Villarreal) and two games he scored four goals (Racing and Sevilla). He scored in 18 games. He took off his spine to do against Barca. Broke from the penalty spot in the hex a sad day, where the pulse was sentenced by the League, but that was the warning of what would happen in the final of Copa del Rey.

The 41 goals from Cristiano, eight and four penalty kicks are a number greater than the total of seven teams in First Division: Sporting de Gijon, Racing, Zaragoza, Levante, Mallorca, Deportivo La Coruna, Hercules and Almeria.

After a new milestone in his career, admittedly not fully happy, that the success of the group is above the staff and their goals are the League and the coveted ‘Tenth’ European Cup for Real Madrid. Are its major challenges. The insatiable Christian and have new goals for the story after leaving a stratospheric figure scoring.

UEFA has come to visit Barcelona for a new anti-doping control, something that has not gone down well at all to Valdes, who received them with a special greeting. Thankfully not play in Germany.

“Since you came last week, “cried the goal Barca to the arrival of the doctors who do the controlling up to 10 players in the first team, including Thiago, Busquets, Pedro, Abidal and Iniesta. The media witnessed the general discontent.

The malaise of the team is palpable, and almost to understand. Since the chain Cope (demanded by the club) two months ago related to doping Barca to Madrid as the alleged source, UEFA has performed four times at Barca, half rather than the usual.

Others are worse

However, there are still more reason to complain. In Germany have reported that three players from Bochum, a team that is playing well is promotion to the Bundesliga, had to leave the film to be screened urine surprise in the bathrooms.

German team coach, Friedhel Funkel, agreed with all the normalcy that could now, calling it “embarrassing”, although clearly it is a legal action. Although it would disturb the rest day of a team that is playing.

Cristiano has exceeded (or even, depends how you measure it), the goalscoring record in the league. But there is a goalie who does not know what it is to a goal from Portuguese.

Victor Valdes appeared to be the main obstacle of Portuguese before they would think that would equal or exceed the 38 goals and Hugo Sanchez Telmo Zarra. Although it was a penalty in the Classic that pitted two teams in the second round of the League, the Portuguese could finally take off this great burden. Even four days later also beat another Barca goalkeeper, Pinto, in the final of Copa del Rey.

From their goals in El Madrigal, no longer speak of all the individual records that captures CR7. Scorer, top candidate for the Golden Boot, when you dial your team never loses, even better scoring average of a player who has worn the shirt of Real Madrid. All this has passed the luso, but still has a pending wearing the white shirt.

Ultimate challenge

In the two seasons that Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing in Spain, has scored at least one goal to all goalkeepers. In all but one: the goal of Sporting Gijon, Juan Pablo.

The Spaniard goal not yet know what it is to collect a ball of their networks after a release of CR7. Has faced Real Madrid in two games, and neither has managed to beat you. In the first round match, scored the only goal as Gonzalo Higuain, but at the Bernabeu in a game that left virtually no chance of title to the whites, John Paul also allowed Cristiano continue fattening their records.

In addition, this season Osasuna, Mallorca and Almeria have resisted Real Madrid. Although the Andalusian team, already relegated, is the latest rival league of whites and, incidentally, an ideal victim for you to reach 40 goals. We’ll see on Saturday.

In the vocabulary of the vessels are not used expressions like “stage fright”, “spirit of Juanito” or “epic.” But the word comeback, albeit rare, does exist in the dictionary of good cule.

A priori, it only takes one goal to be in the quarterfinals, and that the 1-0 would be sufficient. A result, based on the FC Barcelona history, could become a reality because the turnaround has already happened five times.

Could not be against Inter Milan, Mourinho in 2010, but in the quarterfinals of the 2000, against Chelsea, and by extension, Barca got into the semifinals by beating the Londoners 5-1.

17 years ago, fell in Kiev Barca 3-1 and the magic of the Nou Camp was enough to stop beating people 4-1 and Ukrainians go round. Continue Reading »
