Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has Isco to Count On Now
The start of the Champions League campaign and the chase after the Decima couldn’t have gone any better for Real Madrid, with Cristiano Ronaldo getting his scoring groove on with a hat trick while Isco provided another example of why he has been the perfect signing for the club this summer, leaving his fingerprints on almost anything good that happened on the pitch before he was substituted.

Real Madrid – Gareth Bale Looks Tired, Cristiano Ronaldo Selfish Again
Being the first one to blink in the usual race to the La Liga title doesn’t guarantee Real Madrid will end up on the wrong side of the championship once again, but its complete reliance on individual brilliance instead of a more team oriented style makes it impossible for them to win when Gareth Bale can barely play for 60 minutes while Cristiano Ronaldo does everything in the most selfish of ways.

Real Madrid Can’t Stop Trashing Mesut Ozil For Leaving Them
The way Real Madrid see the world means that anyone that doesn’t want to join them or stay on the team has to be insane. So Mesut Ozil pushed for an exit from Arsenal; and Real Madrid really needed the money to help balance the bank accounts from the Gareth Bale acquisition and other “minor” signings they made.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Cristiano Ronaldo & Mesut Ozil Are Still the Most Important Players on Real Madrid
New names and players (Isco, Illarramendi and Gareth Bale???) are always exciting, but consistency of quality might be even more important for Real Madrid heading into this season, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil remaining their most important players.
