UEFA Champions League share Ronaldo highlights from Celtic Park draw

The UEFA Champions League Official Twitter account have shared a highlight reel of Cristiano Ronaldo from Celtic Park back in 2008. After winning the Champions League in a memorable penalty shootout final in Moscow earlier that year, Sir Alex Ferguson’s United arrived in Glasgow’s East End in the Group Stages.

Gordon Strachan had the better over his former boss in 2006 when Shunsuke Nakamura’s incredible freekick helped the Celts beat the visitors from Manchester. There was to be no repeat of the win as Scott McDonald’s audacious chip was cancelled out by Ryan Giggs’ second half header.

Ronaldo was the top goalscorer from the Champions League Group Stages but he was unable to score against Celtic that evening. It was incredible watching the Portuguese attacker in full flow during the warmup, playing diagonal passes with Wayne Rooney before kickoff.
