Cristiano Ronaldo Fires Back At Xavi

A war of words has erupted between two La Liga legends, as Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has launched a stinging attack on Barcelona hero Xavi.

On Saturday night against Osasuna, Ronaldo made his first start and appearance of the season for Los Blancos in La Liga.

After the game, Ronaldo was asked about Xavi’s comments, and the Portuguese star couldn’t stop himself from firing back:

Xavi is playing in Qatar or I don’t know. Anyone who wants a front page talks about me. He has won it all, but never Ballon d’Or.

GENESIS

Last week, Xavi was plastered all over the Spanish press as the former Barcelona maestro gave a series of interviews.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was recently awarded the Best Player in Europe award, with his Barcelona counterpart Leo Messi not even making the top three.

The 31-year-old Portuguese forward won the Champions League and the European Championship but ex-Barca midfielder Xavi claims there is no comparison to be made.

Xavi then made rather controversial comments on the Spanish radio station Cadena SER:

Ronaldo is a player of his time. The problem is that there is another who has been pretty much the best player in history.

Ronaldo is extraordinary but compared to Messi, for me and for everyone who likes football, there can be no comparisons.

Messi will be number one until he wants [to stop]. He’s superior to everyone and is the best in the world, unless you are Real Madrid

"Unstoppable" Ronaldo Smashes Another Record Yet Again

Now the Portugese international with his decisive third goal, has his fifth Champions League hat-trick, to put him level with Lionel Messi.

 

The 31-year-old has been in stunning form this season, but he really had to roll his sleeves up for the visit of Wolfsburg on Tuesday night.

 

Dieter Hecking’s side were leading 2-0 from the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Volkswagen Arena last week and the pressure was on Zinedine Zidane’s side to seize the initiative and qualify to the next stage of the competition, which they did kind courtesy of the magical Ronaldo.

4 Reasons Why Real Madrid Will Qualify Ahead Of Wolfsburg

Well after shocking most of the pundits in the game of football, Wolfsburg today have a very tough task at the Santiago Bernabéu where the face a whole Madridistas family ready for some demolishing exercise.

 

Vfl Wolsburg 2-0 win over the Spanish giants has set up a very thrilling football match we have on our hand.

Real Madrid must advance if legendary Zinedine Zidane wants to continue as the head coach of Madrid with jobless Jose Mourinho still hunting for a club.

Below are the reasons why Real Madrid will qualify ahead of Wolfsburg

1. THE WRATH OF BBC

In the previous encounter Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo had more than a fair share of opportunities to put this thing to bed. Unfortunately, the football gods were not shining on Real Madrid’s side.

They can’t miss any more chances,BBC must find the back of the net early and often. Am of great believe  that the BBC have what it takes to surgically slice apart the Wolfsburg defense.Another hat trick for Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t be a surprise as he set another record in the la liga last saturday.

2. THE DEFENSIVE ROCK

With Carvajal almost sure to start and the idea that Varane might be ready to play Real have better chances. With those two or at least one of them, the defensive line is much stronger. Casemiro sitting just in front of the back four also gives Kroos and Modric a chance to go forward knowing he’s got their back.

Casemiro doesn’t play ‘pretty’ football. Not his job. Win balls, make passes (he’s completed 90% of passes in the Champions League). The guy is never going to be Xabi. And I think some tend to have those expectations. Los Blancos first choice defense paired with Casemiro sitting right there in front is task with shutting down Draxler.

3. THE EVER IMPRESSIVE KEYLOR NAVAS

He has been a rock.Two goals conceded handcuffed by a  dodgy back line that did him no favors. He’ll have to stay frosty as Wolfsburg have a sharp counterattack.

Navas will be called on to make a couple key stops, but with a more solid back line, he shouldn’t have to do all the work. We owned possession by a large margin in leg one, which is something that we have to do this time as well. It wasn’t for lack of trying though, they had so many chances. That’s why Navas needs to be sharp don’t get complacent with the ball staying in the other end for the most part.

THE BERBABEU AS A FORTRESS

VfL Wolfsburg will be coming into a lions’ den that is the Santiago Bernabéu. To the opposing player this stadium is a soul crusher.

This is one of the most storied stadiums in football – that’s a fact. Real Madrid will feed off the energy tomorrow night at the Bernabéu and use let it loose on Wolfsburg, they won’t know what hit them.

Another Milestone Reached By Cristiano Ronaldo After El - Clasico

Cristiano Ronaldo played a decisive role in Real Madrid’s 2-1 Clasico win over Barcelona on Saturday and is now the third-highest scorer in the fixture, a list Lionel Messi still tops with 21 goals.

The Argentinian continued his recent Clasico struggles, as he has now failed to score in his last five outings against Real, per Goal’s Tom Beck. And with their star forward misfiring, the Blaugrana failed to get things going against Los Blancos at the Camp Nou.

Gerard Pique gave the hosts the lead in the second half, but Karim Benzema tied things up soon after, and even after Sergio Ramos’s dismissal, Los Blancos looked the more dangerous team. Ronaldo’s late goal was well deserved
