The Argentine star leads the victory over Celta with Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez
They say that who laughs last, laughs best. That should think Cristiano Ronaldo now that all are penalties in Real Madrid and joys in FC Barcelona. He has no other consolation.
The Portuguese star has become accustomed to this situation in recent seasons. His rivalry with Leo Messi has left several chapters in the same line.
While the Argentine star gives good performances throughout the season and maintains a very high level of performance, Cristiano is limited to meet in specific matches.
The irregularity in which Ronaldo has installed contrasts with the untiring exhibitions of Messi day after day. It does not matter if it's the League , the Champions or the Cup.
It was precisely in this last competition that the Fénix Messi Bird resurfaced . He still had not debuted in Copa and he did this Thursday with two goals.
The Barça ran over Celta of Juan Carlos Unzue (5-0) in a first master time. Messi ('13 and '15), Jordi Alba ('28) and Luis Suarez ('31) destroyed the Galician side, with a well-populated bench with cracks such as Dembelé, Paulinho, Roberto or Arnáiz. And with Coutinho in the stands.
Those of Ernesto Valverde could score even more in one of the best first times with Txingurri in the Barça bench. They finished the job in the second half between Rakitic ('87) and Dembelé , dressed as assistant and very active.
Cristiano bet everything to the Champions
However, the umpteenth Barça's comfortable win this season does not take away Cristiano's dream . The Portuguese star knows what he has to do to win back the ball to Gold.
The Cup does not matter , although the whites are still alive. Nor does the League matter , with 16 points less than Barça and is already lost in Madrid. What matters is the Champions.
As bad as Madrid is in domestic competitions, the key will be the duel against the PSG of Neymar . If the whites take their race and their caste against the Parisians and overcome the tie they will again be among the favorites for the European title.
Nobody had won two consecutive Champions . And, obviously, nobody has done it three times. That is the great white challenge. The goal of CR7.
Ronaldo knows that the ball of gold named Star raising Champions. And at the moment, in that sphere both teams have the same options.
Overlooking Russia 2018
This year, in addition, is World. With Russia 2018 just around the corner, it is possible that the ball of gold may fall into the star of the selection that will win the Cup of the World.
Also in that sense, Cristiano sees Messi very far from succeeding. The Argentine team is mediocre, beyond the presence of the Argentine star.
So Ronaldo has it clear: now it's time to put up with the downpour. Better times will come. And when the moment of truth arrives in the Champions, there will be the resurrection of the great Christian.
