Ronaldo, who scored the decisive penalty in May’s final shoot-out win over Atletico Madrid, returned to club football following an injury lay-off when he scored in the 5-2 thrashing of Osasuna on Saturday. The Portugal captain netted in a 1-0 win and a 2-1 triumph over Sporting while he was with Manchester United, but has yet to face them in a Real shirt.Ronaldo moved from his family home in Madeira to Sporting’s academy at the age of 12 and spent one season in the first team, scoring five goals in 30 appearances before moving to Old Trafford in 2003.”It’s a special match, it’s a special team,” he told uefa.com. “To play Sporting again is a privilege for me.”I wanted to draw Sporting again because I think they have a good team, they have a good coach (Jorge Jesus) and it will be another special moment in my life.”
