    Decoding Cristiano Ronaldo's numbers against Atletico Madrid
    CR7 has netted 25 goals vs Atletico

    Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to Madrid next year to take on his favorite opponent as Manchester United have been drawn against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. While one would call it a tough draw, the Red Devils fans must be hopeful about progressing further, courtesy of Ronaldo's brilliant run against Rojiblancos over the years.

    Why does it matter?

    • From 2014 to 2019, Atletico were knocked out of UCL or beaten in the final on five occasions by a team, which had Ronaldo in their ranks.
    • So far, he has netted four hat-tricks against Atleti with two of them coming in the knockout stages of the UCL.
    • He scored five goals in 2011-12 as Real recorded a double against Atletico in La Liga.

    Ronaldo's most important wins against Atletico Madrid

    Ronaldo has registered 25 goals and 7 assists against the Spanish team and it has brought his side 17 wins, nine draws and as many defeats. CR7's two most memorable wins against Atletico came in 2014 (scored a penalty) and 2016 (netted a goal from the spot during a shootout) the when Real defeated Atletico in all-Madrid derby in the UCL final.

    Ronaldo's numbers against Atletico

    Ronaldo had featured in 16 games against Atletico in La Liga during his stint with Real and scored 12 goals, besides providing three assists. In these 16 games, Real won seven, lost four, and five of them ended in a stalemate. The 36-year-old had faced Atletico ten times in the UCL, winning five, losing two, and drawing three. He was involved in nine goals.

    What about the other competitions?

    He smashed six goals in Copa del Rey in seven games with his side emerging victorious on four occasions. Real were beaten just twice while one match ended in a tie. He has never scored a goal against Atletico in the Supercopa. He faced them in the competition twice with one match ending in a draw and the other in defeat.

    Cristiano Ronaldo's UCL numbers

    Ronaldo has netted 140 goals and provided 42 assists in 181 appearances in Champions League - 15 more than his eternal rival Lionel Messi. He scored 105 goals while playing for Real, 21 for Manchester United, and 14 for Juventus.

    Ronaldo in the UCL this season

    Ronaldo played a massive role in helping United reach the round of 16. He netted six goals in five games. Ronaldo scored in all the matches he featured in the group stage. CR7 struck an injury-time winner versus Villarreal at home, besides scoring late to earn a 2-2 draw against Atalanta away. He also scored the winner versus Atalanta in a 3-2 win.

    How have United and Atletico performed in UCL this season?

    Man United have lost just one game while winning three and drawing two to finish the group stage as table toppers with 11 points. The Red Devils' only defeat came against Young Boys when 10-man United were beaten 1-2. Atletico finished second in Group B, behind Liverpool, with seven points.
