Sport News: Ronaldo talks about career end

A kick in the kick in the own penalty area – that was for a long time the best scene of Cristiano Ronaldo (34). The Juve fans were enraptured, but for CR7 it couldn’t have been.

A game without a goal is a lost game for the superstar. It worked in him, and he was dissatisfied. Then the 89th minute: Paulo Dybala (25) is through to Ronaldo – and the Portuguese doesn’t want to miss it. He hits the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky (29), who scores a 3-0 final for Juventus Turin against Bayer Leverkusen.

“We had Ronaldo under control for a long time. In the end, he scores his goal. That’s quality then,” says Leverkusen’s defence chief Sven Bender (30) in recognition.

After the goal, the Portuguese player will forgo his legendary jubilant leap. This time, his right thumb is enough as a triumphant gesture – it annoyed him too much that Bayer goalkeeper Hradecky had previously frustrated him with two mega chances.

Hradecky: “I almost won the duel against Ronaldo. I could have told my grandchildren about that. Then he shot me through the legs. But then the game was over anyway. He’s just a strong man.”
