Cristiano Ronaldo left fans groaning on Thursday night when he hammered an incredibly straight forward shot at the post in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia.
The striker came into play with 699 club goals in his career, and he is waiting for 700 despite countless opportunities in the Europa League game.
Despite being in excellent positions throughout the game, the 37-year-old couldn’t find the net and looked increasingly frustrated as the evening wore on.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a night to forget against Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League
The former Real Madrid striker struggled to find the net all evening and missed a babysitter
His team-mate Marcus Rashford, who received braces after coming on at halftime, conceded a hat-trick opportunity in the closing minutes by squaring Ronaldo, but the legendary striker was still unable to score.
“Must be a mental barrier at this point,” tweeted one stunned fan. “Especially when you see how good he was in literally every other aspect.
“Regular playtime and a few NPGs and he’ll almost certainly start firing normally, but still, unforgivable miss.”
It leaves him stranded on 699 career goals, with United next in action on Sunday at Everton
Fans were quick to declare that Ronaldo is ‘done’ after his frustrating performance
Others were less forgiving, with one fan saying, “Sad to say this, but honestly, Ronaldo is done.”
Another explained the facts in simple terms, tweeting: ‘Ronaldo hitting the post from 6 yards with an open goal away to Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League feels like a low point for him.’
The former Real Madrid man is sure to score 700 goals and could get a chance on Sunday when United travel to Everton.
