The Portuguese star played for Barca’s fierce rivals Real Madrid at the time.Ronaldo continued to terrorise Guardiola even when the Spaniard went to the Bundesliga to coach Bayern Munich. Real Madrid thrashed Bayern 4-1 in the final of UEFA Champions League 2013/2014, with Ronaldo scoring one goal.The Portuguese, who turned 37 last month, has so far scored 15 goals and made three assists this season. However, the athlete scored all of these goals in 2021, hitting the target only once this year.
