The only positive thing about him at this age is that he scores all the penalties and does not dissapoint the team. 👍🏻👍🏻

🚨 The last 3 goals for Cristiano Ronaldo have been penalties. 🚨 6 of the last 10 have been penalties. 🚨 CR7 already has 12 penalties this season. 🚨 CR7 hasn’t scored an open play goal in the SPL in over a month 🥶 This doesn’t get talked about enough.😬
