Juventus 1-2 Manchester United: 5 Takeaways from the game

#3 Sensational Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo had been struggling to score his first goal in the Champions League for Juventus. But for a top player like him, it was just a matter of time. Ronaldo hit a few shots in the first half, but they were all from outside the box.

In the second half, the momentum was with the home side as Juventus went on attack from the offset. Dybala hit the crossbar which followed a Cristiano Ronaldo special. Bonucci played a superb ball from the halfway line over the top of the United defence to the Portuguese who burst into space and smashed home a first time effort to net his first Champions League goal since his move from Real Madrid.

It was just a matter of time but a sad moment for Manchester United fans that it had to come against them from their former player. The goal added one more feather to an already illustrious career of a great footballer.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
