How anyone can criticize Ronaldo?

The guy is just amazing. A scoring machine.

A wonderful player, but he should not be immune to criticism. He certainly has his faults.

It''s strange to think that such a great player may actually be holding Madrid back at this point in time. He's bristling with his team mates, sulking when someone else scores, refusing to abide by the overall team ethos with his selfishness. At what point can we say his prima donna tendencies are beginning to outweigh his actual contribution? If that hasn't already begun, it's approaching. Of course, he's still capable of amazing performances even in a down spell, like we saw today.

Still think Real need a rebuild of sorts. Perez should be the first to go.

Ronaldo only shows up against crap teams. 8 goals vs Espanyol, like 5 vs Malmo. Like 6 vs Celta.

Against
Atletico
Barcelona
PSG
Sevilla
Villarreal
Athletic

0.

Stats padding at its best. That's Madrid in general. Destroy the minnows, crap their pants vs good teams

True LOL, what a bunch of BS is what it is.

Let's go see the record of Ronaldo in last seasons too see the goals against the Barcelonas, Sevillas, At.Madrid, etc...
Is not 2/3/4 goals against those teams, is +10.

Yeah, this season he is not scoring against the top teams (just scored a great goal vs Roma btw), so what ? Is one season, and he is the top scorer in Spain again and Real is a mess. Yeah, he is the problem.

Ugh i hate defending Ronaldo, but this is such a BS.

Their record against Barca and Atletico post-Mourinho is terrible.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

Ronaldo is really good, but he plays for himself, not for the team. When Real faces smaller teams, they destroy them beacuse of the huge level difference. But when they actually face a good team, they are uncapable of playing anything. Ronaldo is not a good team player and no matter how many goals he scores, I am 200% sure Real Madrid will be a better team without him.

I've been saying for a long time even to friends of mine when we have these discussions that Ronaldo is a statpadder. In the 2016 UCL he has 13 goals in 8 matches which is very impressive but less so when you realize that 11 of those goals have come against Malmo FF and Shakhtar Donetsk and that he was held scoreless in two matches against PSG.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a scoring and a diving machine. You can't call yourself a man and go down like a **** pussy. I like his insane work ethic though. I can see him going crazy with the plastic surgeries. Gonna be so fun watching his decline with age.

Arda > Mainzer 05.

I was applying your usual tactic of denunciating players you don't like (like Suarez for example) with meaningless posts.

considering no teams play a total fair football on earth, barcelona plays a fairer football than most of the teams.
