Juventus pre Ronaldo (summer of 2018) =

Absolute rulers of Italy (4 straight back to back doubles)

A powerhouse in Europe (only going out to other powerhouses Barcelona, Real Madrid & Bayern Münich)

Easily scoring 100+ goals for seasons in a row

On Forbes Top 10 list (#9) of Most Valuable Clubs

Juventus with Ronaldo (before he left in 2021) =

No more doubles & in the end not even Champions, struggeling just to qualify for UCL (= Top 4 in Serie A)

A joke in Europe (going out to Ajax, Lyon & Porto)

Struggeling just to make 90+ goals a season (only making 100+ once)

Crashed out of Forbes Top 10 list (#11) of Most Valuable Clubs

Manchester United pre Ronaldo (summer of 2021)

A serious Championship contender, 2nd in EPL

A force to be reckoned with in Europe (UEFA Euro League Runner-up)

Easily scoring 100+ goals for the season (121)

Manchester United with Ronaldo (after the 1st season) =

No more serious Championship contender, in the end struggling just to qualify for European competition, failing to qualify for UCL (= Top 4 in EPL)

A joke in Europe

Struggling just to make 90+ (89 goals)

Just hanging on to a Top 3 list (#3) on Forbes list of Most Valuable Clubs
