Man Utd's Ronaldo equals record for 90th-minute Champions League winners with strike vs Villarreal

The Manchester United star moved level with Sergio Aguero with yet another late goal

Cristiano Ronaldo has levelled Sergio Aguero for most Champions League winners after the 90th minute as the Portuguese star saved Manchester United in a win over Villarreal.

Ronaldo provided the match-winning moment in second-half stoppage time, as he pounced in the box to combine with Jesse Lingard to seal a 2-1 Man Utd win.

It came after Man Utd fell behind in the second half only for Alex Telles to equalise later on, and it was Ronaldo that, once again, provided the game-changing moment when his side needed it most.

Another day, another record
On a day where Ronaldo set the record for Champions League appearances, he also moved level with Aguero when it comes to late winners.

With the goal, Ronaldo now has three game-winning goals in the Champions League after the 90th minute, putting him level with the former Manchester City and current Barcelona star.

'There's always a chance with Ronaldo'
After the match, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for Ronaldo, saying that he always knows his team has a chance with Ronaldo on the field.

“That’s what happens here at Old Trafford,” Solskjaer told BT Sport. "We threw caution to the wind and we got lucky.

“They’re a hard team to play against. When you have Cristiano on the pitch there’s always a chance. Cristiano is so good in front of goal."

Man Utd celebrate victory over Villarreal, Champions League 2021-22
Ronaldo's goal came at the tail-end of a relatively quiet game for the Portuguese star, and Man Utd in general.

But, with Man Utd pushing for a late winner, Ronaldo popped up, winning a header and running onto Lingard's pass to seal the three points.

"He's done that so many times," Solskjaer said, "and when you saw him [for Portugal] against Ireland a month ago, he missed a penalty early, didn't touch the ball more or less, and scored two great headers in the last minutes.


"That's what he's done throughout his career. He stays in the game. I've seen him all day, the way he's built up for this game and when he gets that one chance it's a goal. He had a couple of half-chances, but a true mark of a great finisher is that he keeps calm when the [big] chance arrives."

What did Ronaldo say?
"It's my job," Ronaldo told BT Sport. "It's a very difficult game. Villarreal plays so good. They had many chances. We struggled a little and we knew it before the game that we must win the game. It was tough.

"The team was a little nervous in the first half and second half to be honest. We were a little bit lucky as well, which we didnt have last game but we had today.

"Great attitude from our players and the fans pushed us a lot. This is what we need when the team is not playing well. An important win."

Man Utd's Champions League run so far
Manchester United entered Wednesday's game in need of a win, having lost their opener to Young Boys.

Next up, they'll take on Atalanta as they host the Serie A side on October 20.

Earn, Invest, save, spend
The four conditions for wealth is dependent on these 4 concepts.
Before you spend, you must first of all earn money.
Invest!!!
And who told you that Bill gates or Dangote became billionaires by saving?
Okay, imagine working for a company or establishment that pays you 15k every month, having to save 10k from that amount after factoring out your monthly expenses of 5k should result in 120k in a year.
Let’s say you continue saving for up to a 5 years, that should give you 600k In 5 year. Still too small for that period of time!!!
This therefore means that at the end of 5 years you’re not still a millionaire, however you choose to save then why aren’t you making enough? It’s simple, you’re not investing.
The essential ingredient needed for wealth is hinged on investment.
Learn to invest, and this should carry about 60% minimum of the salary you earn. Investing provides an alternative source of income, and you shouldn’t put all your eggs in a single basket even the bible says in
Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
Invest your money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. Put your investments in several places — many places, in fact — because you never know what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world.
You may have started asking yourself what you should invest in, well that’s not the focus of this post today. Hopefully subsequent posts would carry this part.
Thirdly, save!
Ever heard of the saying, “ Make hay while the sun shines”?
Well, it isn’t a mere saying. The bible says in
Proverbs 10: vs 5
“ who in summer gets together his store is a son who does wisely; but he who takes his rest when the grain is being cut is a son causing shame.”
In simple terms make hay while the sun shines—that’s smart!
Going fishing during harvest—that’s stupid!
Creating solutions to your problems while in its infant stages is a great way to peaceful life.
While the sun still shines, mend your broken roofs, stitch your torn tents, As the saying, “A stitch in time saves nine
save during your days of abundance so that you may thrive during the days you lack.
Saving should carry about 35% of your salary!
Speaking of saving, you can always save money in a bank or a piggy bank instead (Saving box)
Although both methods have their advantages and disadvantages
Saving in a bank attracts charges overtime. Charges like ATM maintenance, SMS alerts, and all manner of gibberish sugarcoated to your accounts' detriment.
A piggy bank on the other hand requires extreme dedication and discipline, as you can always break it open if you do not attain a certain level of discipline.
Which is why I recommend Kuda bank
Most of you may have heard of kuda bank, but are probably skeptical about giving it a try.
Well, kuda bank is just your one ticket to unnecessary charges incurred with a regular bank account
Kuda bank doesn’t charge you for making cash transactions, no ATM maintenance fees, no SMS alert charges, kuda doesn’t even change you for monthly bank statement reports
What’s more? You even get a free Kuda virtual that is widely accepted for cash transactions.
It’s very secure! Kuda is backed by the national deposit insurance commission (NDIC). And also fully licensed by the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN)
So what are you waiting for? I use Kuda and you should too!!

Finally spend wisely
It’s funny how spending carries the smallest of the ration. How do you intend to spend 5% on your needs? It’s easy, only buy things you ‘Need’ and spend on the things you ‘WANT’ from a fraction of the proceeds gotten from your investments.
We most times spend our money on the things we want such that by the time we realize it, we’ve exhausted most of the money we earn. And it is inevitable to do without the things we need, so the remaining part then goes to our needs, hence leaving out investments and savings.
Here’s an easy trick
Only buy food when you’re not hungry. It sounds stupid but going to a store with a thousand naira, it feels like you should eat everything and before you know it, you’d have spent all your money buying things you actually don’t need.
Better still, cook at home; it saves you money!
And the lord who sees your dedication in secret shall turn your seeds into a bountiful harvest.

I will give out 20 percent of my salary if you can help me to secure a good job. I'm a graduate in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.

Honestly, it seems my shadow is considering leaving me. I struggled to graduate (financial constraints). Searched for jobs, no head way. Planned venturing into business, no funds. I tried learning a digital skill but hunger, and funds are just big resistance.

I was advised to go illegal but I just can't be the cause of people pains never! I better solicit for help than cause pains to innocent souls.

Help your brother man. As the first born, it's not easy, especially when the family is struggling financially. I'm sure some people can relate. We rise by lifting others. As you lift me, you are also lifting others around me indirectly. I promised to never disappoint. My God will continue blessing you. Much love!

After sending loads of applications for remote web dev positions throughout December without success I stopped applying and went into blockchain development. Last week I was replying a message on my LinkedIn account when I saw this jnr WordPress developer vacancy that popped up. I just applied since it takes less than a minute to do so on LinkedIn.

I was surprised when they sent me a mail two days later with a link to an assessment which I took and submitted. They got back to me some days later to fix an interview date, I choose Feb 9 among the listed options. The time options included 7pm, 7:15pm and 7:30pm and I chose the 1st option. The interview was supposed to last for just 15 minutes.

I left Chelsea's match that I was watching at half time to prepare for my interview. I asked one of my Nairaland friends for data and he sent me 3gb, I was all set up by 6:44 pm with a Bluetooth that I borrowed from a friend for the occasion. I didn't want any stories. If only I knew what was lying in wait for me....6:52 pm.....Boom!!! NEPA took light.

My laptop was fully charged but knowing fully well that my battery was not trustworthy, it would last 2 hours when it's in a good mood and 5 minutes on it's angry days. I grabbed my charger and extension and ran off to a nearby restaurant in my area. You think Usian Bolt can run baa? If you see my speed this evening you will like me. It was a combination of Bolt and Ben Johnson. I ran like a criminal that was escaping an angry mob about to lynch him, with the way I was grabbing my PC under my armpit I could easily be mistaken for a thief by the way.

I got there by 6:59 pm, plugged my stuffs and connected to the zoom call by 7: 02 pm, the beautiful oyinbo woman was already waiting. While she was in a well lit apartment, I was in a place with red and blue bulbs with my face barely visible even though I supported the light with my phone torch light flashing straight to my face.

She smiled immediately I came online, and murmured something, omo the Bluetooth was not connected o. Something I tested before connecting to the call, I was fumbling with my Bluetooth settings while she kept talking and gesticulating if I could hear her. The Bluetooth was connected to the system but was somehow not working, she saved me from my misery when she suggested we port to google meet for the interview.

I used the opportunity to check my Bluetooth settings well and connected to the call through a link she sent to my mail almost immediately. In the middle of the interview the restaurant gen went off throwing everywhere into darkness.... Omo!!!

I had to keep shining teeth and stretching my small eyes to its elastic limit because they were the only visible things from my end. She burst into laughter and I couldn't help but join her. It was as if she was in heaven calling someone in hell. I apologized and she told me not to worry that she understands amidst another bout of laughter that she was struggling to contain.

She shaa finished the interview with the normal I will get back to you after accessing the performance of other candidates, I still apologized for my interview settings hoping it won't affect my chances, she assured me that it won't have any bearing on her decision making as regards to selection of the successful candidate. She couldn't stop smiling throughout the interview that lasted for like 20 mins.

I packed my kaya and went home. I laughed my heart out while I narrated everything to my friend who rolled on the floor with laughter. The image of my eyes and teeth in darkness was so hilarious. This was actually my first interview and it will definitely live long in my memory.

Have you experienced something similar?? Please share for the fun

Why cote d'voire? You don do yourself finish . Why not visit Germany student visa thread here instead for advice? All the people I knew who applied to various schools in Germany from here got admitted, even with 100% scholarship. I had my MBA in frankfurt and i wasn't hindered. What you did is very bad. That someone was refused on that account doesn't mean you'd also be refused. Did you know the kind of fraud the one who was refused perpetrated? Would they ever tell you the truth about their status and why they were blacklisted?. See you now, you want to go the same route. You guys would never learn .SMH

You're correct but people are asked to form at least 15. That means more can be formed from the word.
