Gianluigi Buffon names Cristiano Ronaldo as the forward to ’cause him the most PAIN’

In modern times, Cristiano Ronaldo has always scored goals against me at Real Madrid. It's incredible. You could see he had this type of energy, and movements that I had never seen before. It's a result of his determination.

The head-to-head stats between Ronaldo and Buffon certainly won’t be kind to the latter. The Italian keeper conceded a total of ten goals against the striker during their 10 meetings, all of them in the Champions League.

Ronaldo’s overhead kick against Juventus in 2018 is the cherry on top of Ronaldo’s record against the World Cup winner. Ronaldo is also the player with the most goals scored against Buffon (tied with Francesco Totti). No wonder he named CR7 as the forward who caused him the most trouble in his illustrious career.

Cristiano Ronaldo could make Santiago Bernabeu return

It has been over six years since the ‘greatest’ to ever wear a Real Madrid jersey left the Santiago Bernabeu. The #7 left for Juventus before joining Manchester United. He currently piles his trade in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr and in the six years since his departure, is yet to make a return to the stadium. With its renovation still in process, the club is eyeing a potential return for Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.

In spite of reports that the player has a strained relationship with Florentino Perez, the player still holds a fond relationship with the Los Blancos. He has time and again made appearances for Madrid games, though fans are calling for him to take to the pitch. The possibility may soon become a reality, as Real Madrid is planning a friendly fixture between Real Madrid and Al-Nassr.

This will be a relief for fans who missed out on the ‘last dance’ between Lionel Messi and Ronaldo. There also exists the possibility of Real Madrid bringing in Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu, pointing to a Ronaldo vs Mbappe clash. The stadium, which has been in renovation since 2019, has been delayed several times due to COVID-19 and the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
