Real Madrid have been so disappointing since a few weeks ago
Spanish giants, Real Madrid shocked the football world when they allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to join Juventus in a £88 million deal this summer and the decision to let go of the Portuguese superstar has finally started to backfire on the European champions at the moment.

Los Blancos have been a totally different team ever since the attacker departed - and even though they managed to win their first four matches across all competitions this term, that feeling didn't last long as they have started facing the consequences of losing such an influential superstar.
Julen Lopetegui's men have embarked on an embarrassing winless run in their last four matches - producing three defeats and a draw across all competitions. It becomes even more disgusting to learn that they also failed to find the back of the net in all those games - their worst run since 2007.

Jidonu’s tryst with football started after watching the 2002 FIFA World Cup final between Brazil and Germany, being mesmerized by Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Barcelona philosophy and approach towards the game under Pep Guardiola further fueled the burgeoning love for the sport, and he has been a Culer ever since.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo. The 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where Messi's brace led to La Albiceleste lifting the cup left a lasting impact on him. His love for Messi also sees him follow Major League Soccer apart from Europe’s top five leagues.
