London, Nov 16: Cristiano Ronaldo in all probability will play his last home league Clasico next Saturday with his slow divorce from Real Madrid coming to an inevitable conclusion next May according to a section of the media here Monday.
That’s the opinion of sources close to the Spanish club he joined in 2009 – and it’s a theory backed up by the fact that Real Madrid snubbed the London premiere of the player’s film last Monday.
Ronaldo goes into the game against Barcelona having failed to score in 12 of the 18 games he has played for club and country this season. Sources close to the player have stated that he is not at all comfortable with new coach Rafael Benitez’s plan of actions. He is unhappy as Real are playing too defensively and he is not getting many balls upfront. The 55-year-old Spaniard has shown no intention of building the team around Ronaldo or playing the attacking style of football he thrives on.
“We played too deep,” Ronaldo had said after Real Madrid’s defeat last week against Sevilla. The comment was made to Sergio Ramos but it was directed at Benitez whose team had looked to defend a 1-0 lead and lost 1-3.
It should be stated here that both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have repeatedly expressed their desire to buy Ronaldo, whenever, Real Madrid are ready to sell him.
