Villarreal and Manchester meet again in the Champions League, something that is not new for both teams. It is true that the last time they saw each other was in the Europa League final in Gdanks four months ago, with the yellow's victory on penalties. But in the highest competition the two teams met each other in the group stages of the 05-06 season and the 08-09 season.
A rivalry that was formed in those years from which only Cristiano Ronaldo remains … and his goals. 'CR7' is the last devil of Manchester United, but the worst rival that the Castellón team could face. It is true that in the Champions League duels on the aforementioned dates 'the bug' could not score, however his time in LaLiga helped him to become the second player who has endorsed the most goals to the yellows (13).

The team that joined Manchester in 2005 was formed by: Van de Sar, Silvestre, Brown, Ferdinand, Fletcher, O'Shea, Scholes, Smith, Rooney, Ronaldo, Van Nisterooy. (Neville, Saha, Park came off the bench). And the one who lined up on 2008 was composed of: Van Der Sar, Neville, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Fletcher, Park, Heargraves, Tévez, Nani, Rooney, (while Christian came out in the 62nd minute, as did Anderson and Giggs).
Of all those great threats only Cristiano remains on the green … and Senna in the offices, who participated in front of the 'Red Devil' on the green and who today acts as a yellow spokesperson. Juan Foyth pointed out in an interview with this medium that “they will have to know how to suffer” and against Ronaldo it cannot be otherwise. The second top scorer against Villarreal has the opportunity to continue adding against the yellows and debut his account with United. Old Trafford passes sentence tomorrow.
