There Is No One Like Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo’s movement to Juventus from Real Madrid this summer was a great move indeed. The former director of Real Madrid, Jorge Valdano shared a few words about the Juventus forward to the press. Valdano said it’s difficult to imagine Real Madrid without Ronaldo as he has been the best and unbeatable so far. He is someone who always believed in scoring goals and now Real Madrid is not the same anymore without him.

The Juventus forward was the first 10 nominees for the Ballon d’Or trophy for men, which was awarded to the world’s best player by France Football magazine.

BEST CHANCE FOR PSG TO LURE RONALDO

Although it borders mostly on the improbable, Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest drama triangle with the Spanish tax authorities and Real Madrid appears to have cooked up a chance for PSG to sign the one player they have admired since laying their hands on Petrodollars.

The Parisians have had a fair share of superstars join since signing the Portuguese seemed impossible. Edison Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and an impressive number of quality players have bought in to their gospel for the past 6 years.

That doesn’t mean they ever stopped burrowing through paper works and mathematical probabilities on the chances of signing the former Manchester United man.

For this summer’s transfer window though, it appears the current Best Player in the world of football did provide a loophole with which they can scoop him up. After being accused recently of evading taxes running into millions, Cristiano, after posting a lips-crossed picture of him urging his fans that “sometimes the best answer [is]to be quiet,” has appeared to have allowed the ever tempting freedom of speaking one’s mind, that comes from the vantage point of being away from the people who the message is directed at, get to him.

CRISTIANO RONALDO GRABS BRACE IN SEVILLA WIN

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace as they defeated Sevilla to remain on course for a double this term. Madrid defeated their La Liga rivals 4-1.

Nacho Fernandez and Ronaldo scored a goal each to go 2-0 before the break. Immediately after resumption Sevilla star Stevan Jovetic pulled one back. Jovetic was constantly attacking in the first half, hitting the frame work twice. Ronaldo finished their opponents at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu when he scored the third for the league leaders. Toni Kroos completed the roué with a good strike.

Barcelona defeated Las Palmas 4-1 to remain in contention for the title. Madrid now have to remain focused for the final clash in order to land their first La Liga title in five years. They have Celta Vigo on Wednesday and Malaga next week to seal the title. No matter the result at Eibar, Barcelona would not be able to steal it. Only if they do what is required.

Madrid defences showed lapses that Juventus could take advantage of when they meet in Cardiff. The pairing of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane was shaky. They struggled to hold off their opponents. Varane is yet to hit top form after his injury. Ramos is untouchable so Pepe, who is set to return, would pair his captain in the Champions League final. (more…)

MESSI AND RONALDO ARE STILL BEST PAID PLAYERS

Top two football stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still the joint highest paid players in world football, according to reports.

Gareth Bale extended his deal with Real Madrid, yet the Welsh superstar is not the highest paid footballer as many would expect. The former Spurs player signed a deal worth a stunning £346,000 per week after tax. The deal would mean he gets a staggering £108 million over the next six years as agreed.

The pair of Ronaldo and Messi take home £365,000 in weekly wages after tax. That sums up to £19 million in annual payments. The Spanish income tax rate that players pay is c.45% meaning Real Madrid are forking out as much as £32.7 million annually to keep Bale to the Santiago Bernabeu. When extrapolated, it means the duo of Messi and Ronaldo earn £34.5 million per year. Reports say Real Madrid put the official price tag of the Bale around £18 million, but it is definitely a bit higher based on calculations.
