Ronaldo will continue to wait to score the 700th goal

This week, Ten Hag said about Ronaldo is "pissed off when he's not playing." Well, you could argue he'll be even more pهssed off tonight having failed to find the back of the net. The Portuguese is one goal short of reaching a silly 700 club goal milestone but tonight, against that how was supposed to be easy opposition, it just wasn't happen.

The 37-year-old looked lively throughout the first half but was denied by Fabinho with a strong save from a powerful shot at a tight angle and as the game went on Ronaldo saw more opportunities go begging.
