Liverpool struggled to contain Ronaldo’s relentless attacks, which led to his second goal in the 38th minute. This time, he displayed his aerial prowess, rising above the hapless Liverpool defense to meet a cross and head it into the net.

His third goal was a stunning volley that left Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker with no chance. The hat-trick sent Old Trafford into a frenzy, where the United faithful chanted Ronaldo’s name throughout the match. Apart from Ronaldo’s heroics, United’s performance was equally impressive. Bruno Fernandes scored a stunning goal to make it 4-0, while Mohamed Salah added to Liverpool’s misery with an own goal. The Reds were completely outplayed and outclassed by a resurgent United side that had been struggling for form in recent weeks. The result was a major upset and a significant boost for United’s hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League. It also marked a huge setback for Liverpool, who had been in excellent form before the international break. Ronaldo’s hat-trick was his second of the season and the 59th of his illustrious career. It was a timely reminder of his enduring quality and a testament to his ability to perform on the biggest stages. The victory was a resounding statement from United, who proved they can still compete with the best teams in the league.
