Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo & Gareth Bale Need to Show They’re More Than Just Expensive
A tacky club like Real Madrid had to organize a somewhat embarrassing beginning to the co-existence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, but it doesn’t mean anything about their future partnership. Being the most expensive two players in the world comes with huge anticipation, but not a lot of patience from the outside world.

Manchester United – Nani Is Past the Point of No Return
Not too long ago, it seemed like there’s no chance Nani will get to remain a Manchester United player. But David Moyes isn’t simply an Alex Ferguson “Yes-Man”, and he managed to change the Portuguese winger’s mind about leaving. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to turn out OK.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo & Gareth Bale Forced to Change
Beyond the financial numbers of the Gareth Bale arrival to Real Madrid is the simple issue of making it work. Gareth Bale is an excellent player, but one that’s still developing and probably improving. Cristiano Ronaldo is the finished product, and as history has taught us, a slightly fragile one when it comes to his emotions. One of them, or even both of them, will be forced to change.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Isn’t Happy Gareth Bale is More Expensive Than Him?
Some rumors just write themselves even before they come out.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Forgets About Frustrating Start
The real hit so far this season for Real Madrid has been Isco, scoring three goals on his first three matches for the club, but everyone is looking at Cristiano Ronaldo. The new contract, the lack of goals (until now), the frustrated appearance. Maybe the first goal of the season means a new start, even if he’s still not really digging the way he’s playing under Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Still Hasn’t Started the Season
At some point, the goals will come for Cristiano Ronaldo. But for now, struggling to cope in his new, more central position, both he and Real Madrid are looking bad in the opening of the La Liga season, and with a little less luck might have been already trailing and chasing their biggest rivals.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Rescued by Isco, Not Mesut Ozil
While Cristiano Ronaldo had one of his weaker and less influential matches for Real Madrid, the new young star of Spanish football, Isco, proved to be the important factor for a team going through plenty of changes, highlighting the overall weakness of more established players like Karim Benzema and Mesut Ozil.

Messi vs Ronaldo – A Rivalry That Doesn’t Actually Exist
How much do Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo think about each other? Probably not as much as we’d like them to. Just as Real Madrid and Barcelona are huge rivals, it’s quite common to think that there’s some huge individual rivalry between the two best players in the world as well. But every time the subject comes up with one of them, the truth seems a little bit different.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has the Right Team Built Around Him
While Real Madrid aren’t exactly turning into a version of their greatest rivals by focusing on adding one player each summer to strengthen their incredibly talented youth system products, it seems that building around Cristiano Ronaldo is taking a different direction, going for “cheaper”, local talent instead of always going for the biggest name out there.

Messi vs Ronaldo – No Question About the Number One Player Anymore
After four years of a constant debate surrounding the identity of the best player in the world, it doesn’t seem like a question anymore. Cristiano Ronaldo is at a stage of his career where there is no more improvement – only trying to hold on to the top level for as long as possible. Lionel Messi?
