Description

Ronaldo “El Fenomeno”‘s 2005/06 season at Real Madrid was a time when his talent continued to shine, but the signs of a career marred by injuries and a physique that, as incredible as it was, was no longer that of his golden years were beginning to show. Although he was still a feared striker and capable of extraordinary technical feats, his presence on the pitch was not as constant as in previous seasons.

Ronaldo still managed to make his mark, scoring 14 goals in 23 appearances in La Liga. He was still capable of deciding matches with his speed, power and innate ability to find the back of the net, as he demonstrated on several occasions. However, the team failed to win any major trophies, finishing second in the league behind Barcelona.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid’s journey ended in the round of 16 against Arsenal. Ronaldo, despite playing, was unable to be decisive in that crucial stage of the competition.

That season was a turning point for the Brazilian “Galáctico”. His performances, although good, were no longer the dominant ones that had made him the best striker in the world. Injuries, especially to his knee, were starting to limit his consistency and explosiveness, fundamental aspects of his game. Despite this, his status as a football legend was intact and each of his appearances was an event, with fans always expecting magic from their “Phenomenon”.
