I love it that people can say: "Champions League Quarter-Final. Not a big game. Champions League Semi-Final. Big game. Ronaldo didn't perform".
I suppose if this year Ronaldo scores one & sets up a couple more as Man. U. kick out Barcelona in the semis but then doesn't perform as well in the final that will be yet more evidence to support this theory. Similar story if this year Roma knock out United in the quarters - because Ronaldo fails to single-handedly lift United's performance -even though last year's equivalent fixture obviously wasn't a big game - because Ronaldo did pretty well in it...
