#1 Cristiano Ronaldo misfires again
With just 10 games into the 2017/18 La Liga season, Real Madrid trail Barcelona by 8 points in the league table. But Real Madrid has a lot to worry about more than the title.
Their conversion in-front of the goal has been very poor this season and even today, Ronaldo and Benzema did not bury their chances. The form of Cristiano Ronaldo is a big concern for Zinedine Zidane. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in awful form this season. He was suspended for the first 4 La Liga games and was not at his usual best in the next 6 games. He attempted 28 shots on goal this season with just 1 goal to his name.
Even today, he missed a chance in the 23rd minute when he screwed his shot wide. On a couple of occasions, he hit straight at the goalkeeper, from 12 yards out. He threaded some good passes for Benzema but the Frenchman was unable to make use of it. Overall, Ronaldo fails to make an impact in the game.
