19 things we loved this weekend: Ronaldo, Salah, Mourinho, Lukaku…

Planet Football • 13 Sep 2021

Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show this weekend by marking his second Manchester United debut with two goals in their 4-1 win over Newcastle.

Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho celebrated his 1000th game as a manager in style as Stephan El Shaarawy’s last-gasp winner for Roma.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.

Cristiano Ronaldo

We’ve got a feeling that you’re going to be seeing this celebration quite a lot this season.

Sol Bamba

It’s great to see Bamba back on the pitch.

Everybody that knows me know it's not my type to talk after a defeat. But on a personal note, it's my first 90mns for months and after an hard fought battle against cancer. I'll take this victory for today and will look for one on the pitch next time 🙏🏾. Thank you all ❤️ pic.twitter.com/U9UO03pYkK
