The three seasons where Cristiano Ronaldo failed to win a single trophy
During his incredible career, Cristiano Ronaldo has won an abundance of major trophies with the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Ronaldo has three Premier League titles, two Liga titles, two Serie A titles, five Champions Leagues, four Club World Cups and many more.
But that doesn’t mean he’s always been happy at the end of a season. We’ve taken a look at the three seasons where the forward didn’t get his hands on a single trophy at club level.
After winning the Supertaca Candido de Oliveira with Sporting in 2002-03 and the FA Cup with United in 2003-04, Ronaldo then had his first trophyless season.
He missed the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield and was unable to help United overcome Chelsea in the League Cup semi-finals.
United faced AC Milan in the Champions League last-16 but two goals from Hernan Crespo gave the Italian side a 2-0 aggregate win.
The Red Devils also finished third in the Premier League and the title went to Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea, who picked up a then-record of 95 points.
United did make it to the FA Cup final for a second consecutive season but failed to take their chances and ultimately lost to Arsenal on penalties.
Despite the defeat and a trophyless season, Sir Alex Ferguson was able to see the positives and correctly predicted a bright future for his side.
“We’ve always been the sort of team that is galvanised by defeat and adversity,” Ferguson said after the game. “We’re that sort of team. We’ll get ourselves off the ground, cup football can do that to you sometimes.
“We are a very good team and in that form we can play against anybody. It was a really good performance and we got our game together today.
“You could toss a coin for Man of the Match out of Wayne
