Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, star of Manchester United, commented late Sunday on his team's humiliating 5-0 defeat against Liverpool in the English Premier League. United fell behind for the first time in the Premier League era with four goals in the first half, and Mohamed Salah later added his third personal goal and the fifth for his team during the match. The display from Liverpool was harsh, achieving their biggest win at Old Trafford, while the performance from their traditional rival was shocking, with the consequences of this humiliation likely to unfold in the coming period.
In this regard, Ronaldo said on his Facebook account, "Sometimes the result is not the result we fight for. Sometimes the result is not what we want." He added, "This is on us. We have to own it, because there is no one else to blame." Ronaldo thanked Manchester United fans, saying, "Our fans were once again amazing in their continued support. They deserve better than this, much better, and it is up to us to deliver it. The time is now."
