Black moment for Real Madrid, defeated at home by Atletico and in full crisis. The race for La Liga is already over: if Barcelona wins on Sunday it will fly to +12 in the standings.
“If everyone was at my level we would be first. Every year, according to the press, it looks like I’m in the shit, but the numbers and statistics don’t lie. I like to play with Pepe, Benzema, Bale, Marcelo. I don’t want to say that Jesé, Lucas, Kovacic are not good, however…,” Ronaldo blurts out thus in the locker room after the derby.
“I’d like to win the Champions League, but if you don’t have the best players, you don’t win it,” recoils the Portuguese, who may leave the team at the end of the year.
To Marca, then CR7 awkwardly tries to rectify what he said, “I was referring to my physical level: I’m not better than any of my teammates.”
