The main photo above shows Cristiano battling for possession with
Yaya Toure during the 2009 Champions League
final against Barcelona
whilst the bottom right image shows Ronaldo trying to hold off the
attentions of Xavi.
The left hand photo is also during the final. It was
a disappointing night for Cristiano and United with Barcelona
winning
the game 2-0 and it would prove to be the last time that the brilliant
Portuguese winger would be seen
in United colours. Later that summer he
completed a world record transfer to Barcelona's great rivals Real
Madrid.
