At this time of the year, Cristiano usually serve a three-match suspension, just like he did in 2014 and 2015.
Considering the way he acts, it seems he actually asking for a suspension.
Cristiano will be 31 years old in few weeks, he's the second oldest among the players who are starters for Madrid and thus should guide the team.
But the truth is that Cristiano's not a leader.
A player who has been with Madrid for almost 8 years and judging to his age, the Portuguese's expected to be able to act as a leader.
Many of Madrid players are much more mature than Cristiano despite their age.
At the same time, their players have manage to catch up and surpass Cristiano.
Benzema has done that and Bale as well.
Players like Isco and Modric are so much more important for Madrid than Cristiano.
Real Madrid don't need Ronaldo anymore, it's the Portuguese who need Real Madrid and I doubt he's able to accept it.
In his mind, Madrid are nothing without Cristiano.
I'm very afraid this will be the last spring for him as Madrid player, despite the fact they've a registration ban.
I think they can actually become better without Cristiano
The immense status he has and delivering poor performances is a huge problem for Madrid.
An absolute joke. Still some madridistas dare complain about refereeing decisions.
