5 teams Cristiano Ronaldo has struggled to score against

On Wednesday night, Real Madrid’s star attacker Ronaldo returns to enemy territories as he visits the Anfield Arena, a place he is familiar with from his Manchester United days. The 29-year-old was involved in some intense encounters with the Merseysiders as a Red Devil and now he returns to the Reds’ playground for the first time in Madrid’s colors.With 19 goals in 12 games until now this season, Ronaldo has been scoring at an astonishing rate and as usual, everyone expects him to score in this fixture. And since joining Madrid, the Portuguese has stacked up incredible figures to his name. He has scored 271 goals in 258 appearances since signing for Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, and a total of 394 club goals in 581 career games. But out of all those figures, has Liverpool really been a favourite target for the former United winger?Here are 5 clubs against whom Ronaldo has least enjoyed playing.

#5 Benfica

Matches – 4

Goals scored – 0

Ronaldo’s club career started back in Portugal itself where he came up through the youth ranks of Sporting Lisbon. It was from here that Sir Alex Ferguson discovered the boy from Madeira. And during his time in Sporting and also with United in the Champions League, the 29-year-old came up against Benfica on four occasions but failed to net even a single goal against the Eagles.

A lot has changed since the last time he played the Portuguese giants, and Ronaldo can certainly change those stats in his favour but until then, Benfica can boast to be one of the sides that Ronaldo hasn’t scored against.
