Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also all praises for Ronaldo's performance. "I was really, really pleased with how he led the line. As a centre forward we asked him to run the channels, drop in, press more because we're at home, of course. We want to get the crowd behind us. He did everything a centre forward should be doing," he said. Ronaldo surpassed Lionel Messi to score the most number of non-penalty goals.
