On this day in 2003, Ronaldo Nazario scored one of the greatest hat-tricks in modern history as Real Madrid beat Man Utd 6-5 on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-final.
In one of the most thrilling individual performances, Ronaldo single-handedly wrecked Man United's European ambitions with an incredible hat-trick in the quarter-final, second-leg clash.
Talking about that match, Ronaldo Nazario said: "It was the Champions League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, It was a beautiful and open duel, and I scored three goals then. It was amazing. The best came when I was changed. The whole stadium said goodbye to me with a huge ovation.
"Everyone stood up, I would never expect something like that. I was surprised by this spontaneous reaction of fans, for whom I was a rival after all.
"It was a magical moment, one of the most important in my life. Football is everything to me. When I look back, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved in my career.”
Real Madrid then were eliminated by Juventus in the semi-final with an aggregate score of 3-4.

Danilo and Sandro might be an option
Sandro is a left back and they share that position with Marcelo Jr.

Every training method, this is wat Brazil knows best. But where have u seen the best young right back who can be Dani Alves' successor on Brazil as on the left back we have Lodi of A.Madrid. Apart from Danilo who is 28yrs now.

That’s true. However football has been drastically developing in Europe recent decades with help of huge money investments, which created a huge gap between Europe and rest of the world. The only way for non-European countries to succeed will be thinking fast and inventing new strategies for game and new training methods.

They shud write Brazil on the world cup trophy before even the tournament starts.. Man the way they were stoned when they arrived in Brazil after losing against Belgium in the quarterfinals. They see that even being the 2019 copa America champions is not enough.

U are right Gabriel Jesus is a real false No.9 on the seleccao. It shud be given to Martinelli or Rodrygo.

Ronaldo Nazario is the all time typical No.9. Who had everything da Center forward is supposed to have. He had pace, he had dribbling skills and he was a good finisher. He is a good example to all CFs in different clubs/teams.

I watched that match it was Luiz Figo who lost that penalty created by Ronaldo.It was one of the saddest day in my life.That year Madrid should have won the championsleague if Figo scored that penalty.
Yeah, most interesting fact is that Figo was great in scoring penalties, but that day was not lucky one.
