Cristiano Ronaldo has been in a slump since he was traded to Juventus in 2016.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been in a slump since he was traded to Juventus in 2016.
He is the only player to win 5 Champions League titles, and he has won 4 Ballon d'Ors (1 with Manchester United and 3 with Real Madrid). He also holds many other records, including being the top scorer in both European competitions (Champions League and La Liga), as well as having more goals than any other player worldwide during their career.
He has three goals in 12 appearances this season.
You've likely heard about Cristiano Ronaldo's long-awaited return to form. You may also have heard that he has three goals in 12 appearances this season, one of which came against his former team on Sunday. While these numbers are impressive for any player, they're especially so for someone who has been sidelined with an ankle injury since October and was expected to miss at least the beginning of 2019-20 (he returned from vacation early).
If you're looking for further proof that CR7 is back at it again, here are four things worth keeping an eye out for:
He has scored five goals in his last seven games—that's more than half of his total number during all three seasons prior to this campaign combined!
This is the first time in his career he's been relegated to second-fiddle status.

In Madrid, Ronaldo was the star of the team and made it his own by dominating games with his brilliance on and off the ball. He scored 57 goals in 80 matches and led Real Madrid to their first Champions League title since 2012, while also helping them win La Liga again.
In Juventus, Ronaldo took over from Gonzalo Higuaín as their main goal threat because of his ability to score from anywhere—including long range shots into corners or near post crosses that rarely bounced wide like they did at Real Madrid (where fans began calling him El Pistolero). The 35-year-old veteran scored 36 goals in 50 appearances last season; if you include friendly matches against lower division teams who were not competing for trophies then we're talking about an even higher number than that!
Real Madrid will start Zidane as their head coach for the next 5 years.
For the next 5 years, Real Madrid will start Zidane as their head coach. He has a lot of experience and is a former player, manager, assistant manager and youth team manager. He was also an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti for one season before taking over at Real Madrid in 2016 when Ancelotti left for Bayern Munich.
Zidane won four Ballon d'Ors with Juventus during his playing career in Italy before moving back home to France where he became an assistant to Didier Deschamps with Les Bleus at Euro 2000 before being promoted to manager himself after Jean-Pierre Rivere was sacked following France's exit from Euro 2004
They are trying to win every trophy they possibly can this season.
They are trying to win every trophy they possibly can this season. They want to win the Champions League and La Liga, but they also want to win the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana.
They have been very successful in their domestic competitions too: they won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey last year, as well as reaching another Champions League final in 2015-16 which ended in defeat at hands of Real Madrid once again (this time with Ronaldo scoring twice).
Cristiano Ronaldo is returning to his old form.
Cristiano Ronaldo is returning to his old form. He’s scoring goals again, and he’s a great player.
We all know about his ability on the field, but what you might not know is that CR7 is also an excellent human being. He has been treated poorly by many people in the world—from sports fans who mock him for being too fat or tall; to media outlets who criticize him for his love life or hair length; even families who disown him if they find out he doesn't follow their religion! But these days, CR7 seems content with just being himself. He's not looking for approval from anyone else but himself—which makes him one of the most admirable people alive today!
Conclusion
Cristiano Ronaldo is returning to his old form.
