Cristiano Ronaldo social media posts leaves him in awkward spot following Manchester United’s collapse at Chelsea

Cristiano Ronaldo’s social media activity caught the attention of Manchester United and Chelsea fans during their exciting encounter.

The Blues cruised to a dramatic 4-3 victory over United after Cole Palmer scored twice in second-half stoppage time to complete a hat-trick and claim victory, but some fans were also entertained by the posts Ronaldo online.

Just after Palmer leveled the match at 3-3 with a penalty, ten minutes into stoppage time, the Reds legend posted on social media at the same time something unrelated to the action at Stamford Bridge.

A photo of Ronaldo smiling on the phone, with the caption: “Happy days” appeared to his hundreds of millions of followers.

Although the timing of the post was purely coincidental, eagle-eyed fans on social media were quick to notice that Ronaldo posted at 10:16 p.m., exactly when Palmer equalized.

Things quickly got worse for his former team as the Chelsea star then scored the winner a minute later.

The turnaround marked a total collapse for the Red Devils, who led 3-2 in added time thanks to two goals from Alejandro Garnacho either side of a Bruno Fernandes strike.

And the turn of events has certainly made life very difficult for Ronaldo.

Supporters flocked to the comments section on the Portuguese captain’s social media, with some convinced the moment was no coincidence.

One fan wrote on X: “I love the GOAT timing,” followed by a laughing emoji and a screenshot of the game score.

Meanwhile, a Chelsea supporter had fun signing his approval: “CR7 knows the ball.”

Another replied: “‘Happy days’ The goat is happy with the result”, in reference to the star’s high-profile fallout with the club before his departure in November 2022 which brought an abrupt end to his second spell at the club after s ‘be imposed. a legend in his prime.

But some Internet users were able to see the more realistic side of Ronaldo’s unfortunate message.

One supporter pointed out that the player would most likely have a team handling his accounts, as many top athletes do. It read: “Outrage when Ronaldo doesn’t even post on his Twitter account himself, the tweet was posted when United weren’t even losing and he’s currently traveling for a match.

They continued: “It’s just an excuse to impose their hatred on him,” before adding a crying face emoji.

Either way, the legendary player will be hoping to avoid a performance similar to that of his former employers, as he and Al Nassr prepare to face Damac in their next match in the Saudi Pro League.

The striker will be hoping to score a hat-trick for the third consecutive match, having scored hat-tricks in his team’s recent 5-1 and 8-0 demolitions of Abhar and Al-Tai respectively.

Meanwhile, Man United must quickly recover from their recent disappointment as they face Liverpool this weekend, just weeks after their stunning 4-3 FA Cup win over their bitter rivals.
