Cristiano Ronaldo will go without a trophy for the first time in 12 years after Manchester United were dumped out of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Red Devils were defeated 1-0 by Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford and the result means that their No.7 will be trophy-less come the end of the season for the first time since his debut campaign at Real Madrid, 2009-10. Ronaldo's side were schooled by the Spanish champions over two legs and lost 2-1 on aggregate to see them fall at the first hurdle in the knockout stages.
Renan Lodi's 42nd-minute header gave Diego Simeone and co sage passage to the quarter-finals, while managing to restrict the five-time Ballon d'Or to a grand total of zero shots. Only against Panathinaikos in 2003 and Barcelona in 2011 had Ronaldo previously played the full 90 minutes of a Champions League match and failed to have an effort on goal.
