Rio Ferdinand has backed “obsessive” winner Cristiano Ronaldo to ensure Manchester United supporters don’t have to suffer the prospect of seeing Liverpool win the Champions League this evening.
Ronaldo won his first Champions League with Man United in 2008 and has since won three in the space of four years at Los Blancos, scoring the winning penalty in 2016 and netting a brace last year in Cardiff.
United fans worldwide – apart from Roy McIlroy, the massive weirdo – will be praying to see their former No.7 deliver goods in Kiev against Jurgen Klopp’s men.
And Ferdinand, speaking earlier this week, has explained why he was so confident that Ronaldo would once again land the decisive blow in the final.
Rio Ferdinand: “NOBODY on that Kiev pitch tonight will be more motivated to win the Champions League trophy than my mate Cristiano Ronaldo. No matter how much desire and hunger Liverpool have, and they have plenty, it won’t be more than him.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/mOrlJQCJEl

Rio Ferdinand: “From the very start in training you could see he was supremely talented. He had all the skills. What really stood out was his work ethic. This was no show pony. He wanted to be out there afterwards with the ball improving, learning to use both feet.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/NAeEWVBNW5

Rio Ferdinand: “In the mornings he was in the gym before training. He was the first player I ever came across with the big entourage like his own chef, dietician and doctor. It might have raised a few questions if he wasn’t as good as he was.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/xW4qXpBeCn

Rio Ferdinand: “That doesn’t mean we didn’t take the mick. We used to rip it out of him for the gear he wore and I gave him more than most. He wasn’t precious though, he could take it and give it out. He really was one of the lads. He’s no prima donna.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/zv7aFHLSPk

Rio Ferdinand: “Yes, he can be temperamental, he has an ego and gets accused of arrogance off the pitch. But he really is one of the most honest, genuine blokes you can meet and very caring. If a team-mate is in trouble he wants to help out.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/27k23be5jf

Rio Ferdinand: “I still speak to him and we regularly text each other. I might even have a word with him in the stadium tonight while I’m working for BT Sport. He is an obsessive. That’s what sets him apart and why he’s stayed at the top for so long.” #mufc [Sun] pic.twitter.com/P43LTmTjUm

Jurgen Klopp made the point in a press conference recently that it was funny how the two managers in this year’s final were not, on the whole, regarded as good tacticians.
And while the two obviously do have a measure of tactical nous, that feels like an ancillary quality of both teams, and why they got to the final.
Liverpool, in Klopp’s own words, have gone from doubters to believers. You can feel that pure faith when you watch them on the pitch and see their supporters in full voice in the stands. There is an intangible sense of raw confidence which has swept them to the final.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, believe because they are Real Madrid – the club with 12 Champions League titles, the team regarded as the pinnacle of club football, the kings of Spain and Europe and indeed the world.
And nobody in that side embodies that sense of utter, arrogant belief in their right to victory than Ronaldo. This is his stage, the moment when he truly comes alive. United supporters will pray that the Portuguese – not because of his link to United, but because of who he is – ensures the Champions League final is business as usual for him against Klopp’s team.
