Dude, you Ronaldo fans are obsessed with the word 'hater', nowadays nobody hates Ronaldo. There are times he got lucky with the goals and sometimes got goals ruled out. But I am positive there is an actual hate towards Messi because everyone wants him to fail every single day. Pele liked professional footballers whereas Maradona liked by Fans around the world, and which is similar in case of Messi and Ronaldo. Messi liked by professional footballers, and Ronaldo loved by fans around the world. So keep calm nobody hates Ronaldo or else try to patent 'hate for Ronaldo' with the US govt for your new invention. May be you get Noble prize very soon..

glory hunter, one day milan fan the other real madrid. pathetic

loooooool, i cant help but agree with this
i know its a change of position for him to be central most of the time but his finishing was off today
and his decision making in the box wasnt as smart as usual

i dont know man, i think u didnt watch game either and are silently barca fan, im assuming you would vote messi for motm in this game right? Ofc cr7 was little rusty, but he was involve in pretty much all attacks, and was creating chances too. I would vote Bale personally but Ronaldo as usual beast!!!

I feel he had a decent game. Central position was pretty amazing for him. More natural for his age and new style. His first goal was incredible. That's a classic Centre Forward's run with a tidy finish. He had many chances that I felt he should have finished but that happens to everyone in any game I guess. Hope he gets back to top form (saying top form after scoring 2...). He dropped back into an attacking midfield place a lot too to just touch the ball and add to the shape of the formation which was a great touch. Zidane is to praise for that though mostly. I think CR7 will be alternating with Benzema for Centre forward roll and then other players filling positions. Bale on the Left had amazing delivery to CR too. Not sure if he was MOTM but was great in general, but no one stood out.

please protest outside Uefa head quarters.. common appreciate Apoel's display of conceding only 3 goals. I predicted 5-0.

Thanks to refree :)

Arsenal team in the Europa league ..... this is universal justice

you know, winning the europa league would still be a tremendous achievement for your team bro

This guy does love to score with a good bycicle kick. :D

It was because of the movement did, not necessarily the handball. The movement he did with his arm inappropriate as he moved towards the ball.

He moves his arm towards the ball ends up touching it with his arm. It's subtle but Bale was right behind him ready to shoot so good call IMO.

dive for a pk, then ask for another while no handball, then score the PK and take the ball from the net to bring it to the middle of the field. knowing how small are Apoel, despite all the talent he has, he disgusts me by this kind of atitude. He does not need that.

Ok dude you hate him I get it...Maybe he pulls a ref again and gets a big suspension so that you don't need to watch him...

Tiki just might be the only 9 year old on the entire website.

cry me river pathetic messi fanboy with loser attitude

More like the queen.

Queen? Best scorer, best assist, only back-to-back CL winner, scored in 3 CL finals...you just salty hater

and who says a Queen is inferior to a King?

when she dives for a penalty all that shit goes out the window...#Penaldo

Yeah but a very rich queen ;)

ok no need to harm Penaldians, that was a honourable move... He got tackled by the gravity so he actually was right to ask for the PK, he saw a handball so he asked for it it was only a mistake. And he did not disrespect Apoel by running to make the kick off quick at 2-0, he just thought the game was 2-2. Do you prefer this version ?

Dynast, insults are there when there is nothing to argue about. i will actually respect him when he stops being a Douche bag on the field.

Haters look in your own stinky backyard, the refs love you and hate Ronaldo and yet he still wins...

@tiki_taka dude easy man.. why do you worry about Ronaldo vs Messi comparisons.. It is clearly Ronaldo ahead of Messi nowadays. I think you as a Barca fan should support team instead of individuals. Ronaldo has an attitude of scoring goals which is what makes him do things inappropriate but in football everything is acceptable until you got caught..

Center half's finishing at its finest
