Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Talks Some Lionel Messi
So what does Cristiano Ronaldo think of Lionel Messi? Despite the fact that it would be much more interesting for the two best players in the world to hate each other (which maybe they do, on the inside), the Portuguese captain had nothing sensational to add to the equation and the constant debate about who’s better and what their relationship is.

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.

A Weird Night – Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo Don’t Score
Barcelona didn’t have too much of a problem at home against Celta Vigo, but Lionel Messi wasn’t completely there in his mind, looking unfocused and slow to react. Real Madrid had a less than comfortable match against Zaragoza, with the 4-0 scoreline not telling the truth about what happened in the match, but Cristiano Ronaldo simply couldn’t find the goal.

Mega Transfer Rumor – Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho to PSG
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.

FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Will Never Leave
Some players are just impossible to imagine playing in a different uniform than what they are now. Lionel Messi has been a Barcelona player since 2000, arriving from Argentina at the age of 13.

The list for the nominees for the 2012 Ballon d’Or award were released by FIFA, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the obvious candidates to win this one, while Real Madrid beat Barcelona in terms of number of players on this list and no one really came close to Spain on the international front.

Lionel Messi – Just Breaking Another Goal Scoring Record
Sometimes, I don’t really understand how the Ballon d’Or for 2012 is even a question. Lionel Messi has won it three times in the past, and should win a fourth. When you’re about to break the record for goals in a calendar year, after already setting records for goals in the league, Champions League and an entire season, there shouldn’t be any debate.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Enjoying the Hate
One of the best moments that came from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 5-0 win by Real Madrid over Mallorca wasn’t his two goals but his interactions with the fans, imploring the fans to keep on booing and jeering him, as if it only made him stronger and better throughout the match.

Real Madrid – A Disappearing act by Cristiano Ronaldo
Blaming the left side of Real Madrid would be true, but putting some of it on Cristiano wouldn’t be far from the truth, who did absolutely nothing to help his team’s cause in their 1-2 loss to Dortmund except for breaking away once from his marker, to score the equalizer in the first half.

Real Madrid – Who Needs Defense With Cristiano Ronaldo
Injury worries regarding the defense? Not a problem against an under-qualified Celta Vigo team that didn’t have what it takes to even remotely be close to an upset, while Cristiano Ronaldo was as unstoppable as ever, only the balls didn’t go in, which was still enough for a 2-0 win.
