Former Chelsea star Tony Caccarino has confirmed that the reason Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo asked to leave Manchester United was fear of Argentine icon Lionel Messi.
And the Spanish newspaper “Marca” quoted Cacarino as saying that Ronaldo’s desire to leave the “Theater of Dreams” is due to fear of his record in the Champions League.
The Red Devils were unable to reach one of the four places in the English Premier League and qualify for the European Champions League, which disappointed Ronaldo, according to several media.
In this context, Cacarino believes that Ronaldo is a player who has too much pride to achieve more and played with successful teams, which happened during his time at Real Madrid, which brought him four Champions League titles. .
And he added: “Ronaldo is amazing, he scored a lot of goals, he is one of the best players ever and he wants to stay that way, but it only happens with wins and when you don’t win, things are wrong.” “
He added: Ronaldo scored 141 goals in the Champions League, while Messi scored 125 goals.
It should be noted that there are clubs interested in signing “Rocket Madeira” and Bayern Munich may be the closest to signing him, especially as the latter wants to compensate for the expected departure of their Polish star, Robert Lewandowski. .
