Cancelo Assumes Ronaldo Exit As the Trigger Behind Declining Real Madrid

DBasia.news – A great distinction could be seen in the El Clasico match between FC Barcelona against Real Madrid on the 10th-week of LaLiga last weekend. Real had a different class compared to Barca.

Madrid’s weak defense, the poor performance of the players, and their goal-drought have been the story of the club this season. Consequently, Julen Lopetegui got sacked and Madrid handled by Santiago Solari for a while.

The Clasico match was the chance for Juventus defender Joao Cancelo to show the strength of his compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is with him in Juventus. Without him, Madrid could do nothing to score the goal for Barca and showed their dependency to Ronaldo.

“Every day I train with Cristiano Ronaldo and so far he has won five editions of the Ballon d’Or. If Cristiano doesn’t win it this year, it’s just incredible. He is the best of them all and last season he was more decisive than any other player,” Cancelo explained.

“Cristiano won the Champions League as an absolute protagonist, scoring 15 goals. When he plays for a team, that team becomes the best there is. The proof is in the latest Clasico result. Barcelona without Lionel Messi win 5-1, Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo lose 5-1. That is the difference.”

Furthermore, Cancelo also assumed Ronaldo as the player that brings difference anywhere he plays. In the opinion of former Valencia and Inter Milan player, the 33-year-old player was born as a champion.
