Expect Ronaldo's goal tally to go drastically lower in Juventus. He won't have Marcelo, Kross, Modric, Benzema, Carvajal, Vazquez sending giving him 20 assists per game.
As for Madrid, they need to get a killer like Kane (would score the double of goals in Madrid than in the Spurs) that would give them something similar to what Ronaldo gives in the last years that he became more a striker, instead of a player like Neymar that plays more from the wing, Madrid has plenty of players in that position.
Real fans have no shame.
Most spoiled bunch.
I wonder where they'd be now if Ronaldo didn't join them in 2009. Would wager they would have continued to be demolished by Barca.
They would still be the best club in the world, with most UCLs won, twice as Bayern and Barca.
Do you really think that Madrid has won all of this because of Ronaldo??! Madrid has the best squad in the world by far, even without Ronaldo... Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal, Casemiro, Modric, Kross, Isco, Bale, Benzema, Asensio, Vazquez, Kovacic, Nacho. Plus others that also helped Madrid to win UCL this years like Xavi Alonso, Pepe, James, Morata, Di Maria, etc.... Really??!!
Madrid though as a whole have very little class. Years of their fans booing Ronaldo and now would be happy to sell him at the first chance for a new shiny toy, when he was one of their key players in bringing them 3 CL's in 3 years. He's still probably loved more in Manchester than in Madrid, and that says it all after giving 10 years of his prime there vs 3 with us. They forget they didn't manage to get out of the R16 in the CL for like 5 years straight before Ronaldo went there. Hopefully Ramos, Modric, Marcelo, Benzema etc all hitting the wrong side of 30 takes them down a peg eventually.
Its easy to talk shite when you have no idea of what you are talking about... Real Madrid fans are hard to please, that is true, that level of demand is what makes Madrid so successful. They would never keep in the team players that do not perform top level always.
But Madrid fans booing Ronaldo is not because they are classless, but because every single Madrid fan knows that the club is bigger than any player, but Ronaldo has tried several times (and failed all of them) to prove that he is more important. Ronaldo hasn't been booed in the last 2 years from Madrid's fans, but after his attitude and words after thet last UCL final, you can be sure if he stayed he would be booed again. Thats it.
Its a shame that he will have to learn how big is Madrid when he goes out the club, and he never wins a UCL or a Ballon D'or again, and he stops scoring 1 goal per game.
This turned into a power struggle between Ronaldo and Perez, Perez represents the club and if there's one thing that every Madrid fan believes is that there's noone bigger than the club. So there was no winning for Ronaldo and it turned into a Madrid vs Ronaldo situation with arguments about if it's Ronaldo that needs Madrid more or Madrid that needs Ronaldo more... which don't even matter.
Ronaldo and Madrid fans are the same, both too proud and ambitious but it's mostly a good thing so you can't really blame them. Once he goes and politics are set aside then things will be like they are at any other club.
But meanwhile it's simply weird to see a fanbase losing their best player ever and act like they're not bothered and some even wishing for him to go year after year. Especially since you're talking about the best player in the world...
You've said it before bro, 'no one is bigger than the club'.
Of course the fanbase doesn't likes tomsee him go, but when you try constantly to steal the attention from the club's achievements, specially when they just have made history, just because you had a shite game and no one will talk about you this time just makes it easier.
Btw, Ronaldo is NOT Madrid's best player ever, that is Di Stefano. In fact, he isn't even Madrid's most important player of the team currently, that is Sergio Ramos.
Pele scoring a billion goals in a garbage brazilian league
Pele is not even top 5 all time.
OMG hahahaha funiest and dumbest comment I've read in the forum...
Ronaldo has money coming out of his ass and will continue pouring in the sponsorship deals long after he's retired from football.
Do you really think this is about the money? It's about the principle.
Its ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
Its not that he needs it, thats for sure. But for his enormous ego and pride, it is an insult that the club pays him less much less than what PSG pays Neymar or Barca pays Messi. He is that competitive! So yes, it is the money, but more because of pride and ego, not because he is not rich enough...
He is human after all. Ronaldo has been the only bright spark in an ageing and downhill Madrid squad. You can't expect him to do everything by himself.
Hahahaha really?! So I think Keylor Navas, Varane, Carvajal, Kross, Casemiro, Kovacic, Isco, Asencio, Vazquez, Morata, James, Nacho, Bale, etc... are old and ageing players that can't shine without Ronaldo. For sure!! Also Ordiozola, Theo, Llorente, Mariano and Vinicius as youngsters just can't shine...
Plus Madrid are going to need to overhaul thier squad in the next few years and that is going to be beyond expensive in this market. Getting 88 million for ronaldo now and spending that money wisely is a much better bet then waiting for him to be worth nothing in a few years.
Not really. Florentino has been buying young and cheap players the last 4/5 years just because of that, and now the team is full of great young players.
Of course its hard to replace Madric but that is why they bought Kovacic, for Ramos you have Nacho and Vallejo. For Benzema and Bale you have Isco, Asensio and Vazquez. Yet for Ronaldo they will have to spend a lot and buy Kane or Mbappe... but Madrid hasn't spend almost nothing in the last 3 years, so they can afford it.
I think that's a smart move from Juve and Ronaldo. Juve winning the CL is a matter of time with their performances in recent years. CR7 is the extra step they need to turn it into a reality.
As for him, and just like Zidane, he is leaving at the top ; in addition he'd be the player who made the difference for Juve in the CL, and also the one who won it with three different clubs; not to mention that Juve winning the league is a no brainer, while Madrid losing theirs is to a degree another no brainer.
Its a no brainer that its easier for Madrid to win another UCL than for Ronaldo to win a UCL with Juve. For Ronaldo, just like Messi, its much easier to perform like they do and score like they do when they have players with Madrid and Barca quality.
Make no mistake, Juve IS NOT Real Madrid, and you will start seeing it soon. Just ask Ozil, Di Maria, Alonso, Pepe, Morata, James, etc how much have they won after going out from Madrid...
