The UEFA Champions League and Cristiano Ronaldo are a match made in heaven!! The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star won the title with them on five occasions. Three of those wins came with Los Blancos in back-to-back seasons under the management of Zinedine Zidane.
His goals and assists in the competition are endless. He has scored more hattricks in Europe’s top cup competition, than many players have scored goals. That’s how good he has been right through. To add to that, he was tried to push every player to higher standards.
That may not have worked out well for him in recent times. However, the CR7 brand remains strong!! This forced him to leave his beloved club, Manchester United. And he is now set to sign for Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr.
The Clause That Could Still See CR7 Back In The UEFA Champions League
Nothing would make Ronaldo more happy than to be back in the UEFA Champions League. It would be a great feat for him to win a UCL title once again. At his age, most players want to relax and play as little football as possible. However, Ronaldo is a machine and we all know it from the start.
He just doesn’t give up and wants to continue doing what he loves. Even at the age of 37, he is as fit as a horse!! And it is all due to his hardwork and a strict diet that he follows!! Great to see him going stronger, year after year.
Further, the fans would be ecstatic to know that Cristiano Ronaldo could be back in the UCL. The contract that he will be signing with Al Nassr, could actually make this happen. His time in Europe’s most elite competition is still not over. It could happen if a simple thing (well, not so simple exactly) happens!!
What Is This Secret Clause That Is Part Of Ronaldo’s Contract!?
The criteria for Ronaldo to be back in the UEFA Champions League is quite simple. He will be back in the competition if Newcastle United qualify for the tournament this season. A top four finish for the Magpies could ensure Ronaldo’s return to the UCL. Yes, it is true!!
The player has been promised that he can go on loan there only if they make it to the competition for next season. The club is owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund and surely a move would be a piece of cake for them. And it will happen!!
Well, whether this actually happens or not, remains to be seen. Newcastle United are third in the table at present. However, the gap between teams is nothing much and it can go either way.
They have played 1 match more than their top-rivals at present. However, they have the same number of games as 5th placed Spurs, who are four points behind them. With that being said, there are too many variables at present. Results can change the scenario at any time. Let’s wait and watch!!
