Porto v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League — He was a star at United

The Spanish La Liga and the English Premier League are the two best leagues in the world. Before the Portugal captain started killing it in La Liga, he was dismantling teams in England.

In his last three seasons with the Red Devils, his exploits as a goalscorer allowed his team to win the title. Indeed, Manchester United never lost the league in the seasons where he scored 20 or more goals.

In his best season at the club, he scored 42 goals from 49 games in all competition to not only win his side the league, but also the Champions League. His exploits also saw him win the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career, which was the first of the many to come.
