Real Madrid fans acclaim Morata as Ronaldo flounders
In fact, Ronaldo has only scored 2 goals in 6 Liga appearances, and is miles behind the best C-RON, in physical terms if nothing else. He’s also eons removed from Lionel Messi, who has smashed in seven goals in as many games in the current campaign.
Ronaldo has netted as many goals as young team-mate Alvaro Morata (2), the Cantera product scoring the winner on Sunday and earning his public’s acclaim. For fans of a team called the Galacticos, the Chamartin faithful are growing attached to the ex-Juventus man, but Coach Zidane still sees Ronaldo as untouchable. But for how long?
