  • Real Madrid – Bigger Than Cristiano Ronaldo

    Real Madrid – Bigger Than Cristiano Ronaldo

    A theory that’s been thrown around here and elsewhere in the past is that once you have Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad, and obviously in the lineup, it forces you to play a certain way. Real Madrid, since Ronaldo has arrived, haven’t been able to reclaim their Champions League dominance, and are on their way of losing yet another La Liga title to Barcelona, already 11 points behind their arch rivals.

    Jose Mourinho is the Longest Serving Coach in the La Liga

    Real Madrid – Jose Mourinho Blaming Everyone Else

    Same routine that’s been happening for the past three seasons: Jose Mourinho finds himself under tons of pressure and in the need to explain why Real Madrid aren’t doing as well as expected. The result? Blaming the referee, his players and Barcelona for everything that’s wrong in his life.

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has Too Many Bad Days

    Caught off guard once again, and any hopes of repeating as La Liga champions are thrown out the window for Real Madrid. Losing three times in 13 matches is too much in this league, and for Cristiano Ronaldo to score only once in the last six matches is simply unheard of. These things go hand in hand.

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Only Needs One Eye to Score

    A match that shouldn’t have been played at all eventually went in the right direction. Real Madrid had no use of skills and dribbling ability.

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo’s Worst Match of the Season

    Somehow, Real Madrid didn’t come out too disappointed from a home draw in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo had a very off night, curiously trying to pass almost every ball that fell at his feet and never really finding a good shot at goal, feeling lost in the first half and out of sorts as a striker in the second.

  • Real Madrid – Lethal Even Without Cristiano Ronaldo

    Real Madrid – Lethal Even Without Cristiano Ronaldo

    Somehow, a very unconvincing performance turned into a 4-0 win. Jose Mourinho got his 100th as a Real Madrid head coach and even without Cristiano Ronaldo having to score, the champions just needed two stretches of two minutes, once in the first half, again in the second, to make it look like they were part of a wonderful footballing display.

    Despite the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be smiling and happy again after a mini drama that last a couple of weeks and seems to be forgotten, there will always be rumors about his departure from Real Madrid as long as there are clubs with deeper pockets, like Paris Saint-Germain, who might be interested in signing him and his manager, Jose Mourinho.
