18 Year Old Cristiano Ronaldo EMBARRASED Ashley Cole In This Game

A very good performance from an 18 year old against a prime Arsenal side at Old Trafford.
EPL. Season 2003-04.
English Commentary.

Only 18 years old and crowd already saying his name🐐🇵🇹

[robertofarrell]

No embarrassment, just a brilliant battle between an outstanding fullback in Cole and a legend in waiting. 18 year old Ronaldo was the very definition of swashbuckling, so exciting to watch.

The first version of Noodle Hair Ronaldo. No wonder he returned to a similar hairstyle, he was unstoppable here. The best player I have ever seen right here.

[kennyalpha]

This was him against the best Arsenal team of all time. Let that sink in. Him against Arsenal invincible that too prime Cole, who is regarded as best left back England/Arsenal have ever produced. The level of football was astronomically high back then.

[MxrvzWavey]

The amount of times he took on his man this game is the same amount of times players will just pass it back instead of doing the same nowadays

[unknown-hrb]

He was rlly 18 being marked by two players 😂😂legend🐐

[uzins]

7:28 Even after that he was still able to cross. Theres a reason we call him the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[seankay]

I'd say Cole had the better of him. Even Ronaldo said he hated playing agaist Cole.

[sembatyajoshua]

Ashley Cole was tenacious full back both defensively and offensively on the pitch but I think that moment with CR7 is one he'd wish to forget in his outstanding career. Watching it again am surprised he didn't pull a muscle having been decked by CR7😂

[ROCKSTAR]

I'm a big Cristiano fan but Ashley Cole was always a super tough defender for him, well for every attacker back then actually.

[adam_p]

Cole had him in his pocket more than any other fullback. Cole was unbelievable.

[EmruAlqais]

*Although I like CR7 a lot but this title is totally misleading, I didn't see any embarrassment to Cole! Ronaldo was even not accurate and precise with his passes*

[mhtb]

This shows me what a great defender Cole was

[Sevenzin-c]

*From a young age he was already exceptional*

I was a kid when Ronaldo and Messi started their careers. And i loved them both through their careers, but CR7 will always have a special place in my heart. Messi has always had the edge on him if we are talking about pure and raw football talent and this is the reason why if i have to choose between them i'll always pick Cristiano. He had to put hard work to reach, and for long periods overcome, Messi talent. First at arrive, last to leave. Never left a pitch without putting max effort. And a true leader, never seen him give up before the end of a match. And i don't know why but the rush of adrenaline that this guy give me during games and the way he gives me hope even in difficult games is something else. Messi never did this for me. And i'm not saying because he is not beterr than CR7 or bla bla bla, simply i always found Cristiano more exciting to watch and follow. I guess it's subjective. For these reasons if my life is on the line in a footbal game, i'll always choose Cristiano., CR7 LOVE!+

[reddevil]

At those years I was always super nervous before and during matches vs the gunners. Always a battle, always entertaining football and always high voltage matches.
The rivalry was on another level. Nowadays you can't feel such rivalry anymore, not even close.
Now we hope and prey we could snatch a point...

This game is where England and France captains need to colab for 90minutes dealing with a teenagers. What a fact !

[slavemperor]

I think there is a huge gap between Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe. Mbappe is great but it french league. Messi was great against Galacticos and Ronaldo against Invincibles. Huge difference.

[epinhervin]

That is why ashley cole was moving to chelsea with that illegal meeting with chelsea people and his agent 😂 he knew arse team could not help him win the ucl 🤣

[theredking]

I miss the old baggy jerseys and shorts 😂
