3 Things we learnt from Cristiano Ronaldo's home debut against Lazio

#3 Cristiano Ronaldo's new strike partners

As well as having to adapt to new surroundings, Ronaldo will have to adjust to his new attacking partners; Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and Fredrico Bernardeschi. One reason why Ronaldo had such success at Real Madrid involved the selfless attitude adopted by Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.

Although the Frenchman started as the central striker, he would often move out wide and run down the wing in order to allow Cristiano to move into the penalty area.

Mario Mandzukic will have a similar role to play in running down the channels and grafting away. Mandzukic, however, is not the quickest and likes to roam around the penalty area in search of goals.

In the game against Lazio, we saw signs of Ronaldo accepting this and running down the flanks himself. He provided the assist for the second goal which looked somewhat fortuitous, as both Mandzukic and Ronaldo queued up at the far post.
