Liverpool fans will be even more grateful for the wonderful team spirit and group of characters Jurgen Klopp has fostered at Anfield after observing Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest tantrum.
The Portuguese star was spotted departing Old Trafford early – despite his side being 2-0 up before the start of extra-time – in a clear show of disappointment at his lack of minutes.
It was an act of defiance that led Danny Mills to declare it an ‘absolute disgrace’.
Though we can absolutely understand frustration at not appearing in a game of such importance, the forward’s actions resemble that of a toddler hearing the word ‘no’ for the first time and not a mature, 37-year-old role model.

Never would I want a player with such behaviour on my squad. Ronaldo or not, this is unacceptable. #MUFC #MUNTOT https://t.co/PKiemoi3wt

He should have walked out before. Same with other matches.
Your topscorer last year…in fact scoring more than all other forwards put together…is benched EVERY GAME.
..the worlds topscorer.
None of the fotwards scoted this game or even came close.
Ten Hag has made this personal to destroy Ronaldo’s career.
He knows what he is doing.
20/50 years from now no one will rememember your name Ten Hag except as a nobody who tried to destroy one of the greatest footballers of all time.
They will still remember Ronaldo’s though.
He should have walked out before…
I noticed the forwards he had on were scoring tremendous goals🙈
Ten Hag is trying to destroy Ronaldo’s career.
Good luck Ten Nobody.
