Tomori Recalls How He Stopped Ronaldo

Milan central defender Fikayo Tomori spoke about his duel with Cristiano Ronaldo. The English defender and the Portuguese striker faced off towards the end of the 2020/21 season when Ronaldo was playing for Juventus.

In that match, Tomori managed to stop the star player, and the Rossoneri claimed a 3-0 victory. “Before the match, I told myself: ‘Today, I will not allow Ronaldo to score.’

Somehow, I was able to cope with the pressure. Ronaldo has scored so many goals throughout his career that, even if I hadn’t been able to stop him, no one would have been surprised.

The key was not allowing him to touch the ball first – otherwise, it would have been over,” Tomori said, as reported by the Italian press. It is known that Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus in 2021 and joined Manchester United.

Since the beginning of 2023, the Portuguese striker has been playing for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
