Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid continue to struggle in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The defending La Liga champs have made a poor start to the new term as they drop more points in the draw against Levante.

The Portuguese still has a game to serve to complete his five game match ban for his red card and referee push incident. Real Madrid play Real Sociedad on Sunday but afterwards the prolific goalscorer can then be available for selection.

Since the red card was for Spanish fixtures, the player would be available as Real play APOEL in the Champions League on Wednesday.

After winning their first game, Madrid have drawn their last two, leaving them four points adrift Barcelona early in the La Liga race. The latest was the stumble at the Bernabeu against Levante. The team has now lost KarimBenzemato injury. He could be out for one month, further limiting the goalscoring options at the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo with Soft Heart

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo may look like a tough fellow from outside, but, behind that tough exterior of the man is a real soft heart and we get to see the glimpse of that softness every now and then.

The winger is always interested in contributing to the charities in whichever way he can and recently also he has done something for which he can only be given tremendous amount of respect.

There is an organisation in Portugal which picks up stray dogs in bad condition of their health from different parts of the country and provides them the medical treatment to save their lives.

That organisation, of late, had been lacking funds to continue their services. So, they got in touch with Ronaldo through one of his acquaintances with a polite enquiry if he could do anything for them and to their delight, they got a positive response from the player and that too immediately.

WENGER AND FERGUSON CLASH OVER BALLON D’OR

Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal’s current coach Arsene Wenger seem to disagree over who should win the Ballon d’Or going by their statements. Wenger is known not to be a fan of world football

Early this year, the French tactician said he considers himself an ‘enemy’ of the world football’s topmost prize. Last week, he spoke against those who praised personal successes of players over team effort.

“We have seen many people only thinking about themselves because they are obsessed by Ballon d’Or and not by the team performance,” said Wenger.

The Emirates boss added that he believes that the game is one that involves collective effort of the players.

“… we live already in a world where everything is individualized. We want to respect what football is about, first and foremost about the team effort,” he said. The manager seems not to be impressed with the fact that Mesut Ozil missed out of the 30-man shortlist, but congratulated the player for his nomination for the France Football award.
On the other hand, Sir Alex Ferguson backed Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award this year. Read More

Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo says playing England will be very emotional for him, after playing in England for years before joining Spanish giant, Real Madrid.

Ronaldo admits playing against Wayne Rooney at Euro 2016 after playing five years together at Old Trafford between 2004 and 2009 will bring back memories.

The pair played together winning a glut of trophies including the Premier League and Champions League. They have also met twice before on the international stage at major tournaments in two fiery encounters between England and Portugal. They played at the continental championship in 2004 before meeting again in 2006 at the World Cup in Germany.

In 2004, Portugal defeated England at the quarter-final stage in a match which saw Rooney suffer a broken foot.  At the World Cup two years later, Rooney was shown a straight red card for a stamp on Ricardo Carvalho. Ronaldo pressured the referee to give the Three Lions forward a tough punishment as the referee was yet to decide and Rooney pushed Ronaldo off in anger. Ronaldo was famously caught on camera winking to the touchline as Rooney made his way off the pitch. England later lost out on penalties.   Read More
