The increase in quality with Ronaldo in 2006/2007 is something I haven't seen in world football since. It's like he went from being a 5/10 player the previous year, to a 8.5/10 that season, and all of this in a span of a summer, followed by a World Cup conflict with Rooney. I know that if you look at the goals scored, there is not much of a difference, but the eye test was there for everyone to see.
Garnacho is hitting all the right notes so far with his progress, and I'm getting surprised by his endurance this season, as he has started 20+ consecutive matches for us. Think the exact number is like 25. He was sprinting against Liverpool after 120 minutes of brutal tempo to set up the winning goal, against a fresh player from the opposing side. He clearly is working on all the elements where he needs to improve. Next will probably be to bulk him a bit, as he is easily brushed off the ball.
I'm happy that Real Madrid are covered in the position where he plays for the foreseeable future, as I know that someday he will want to go to Real Madrid, and it would hurt just like when Cristiano left.
