#2 Leadership was Ronaldo's forte
You might remember that brilliant free-kick Ronaldo fired into the net past Spain's defensive unit and David De Gea. But more than the brilliance of that set-piece, it was the build-up to the free-kick that won the hearts of people watching the game.

As soon as Portugal kicked off after Spain gained the lead, Cristiano Ronaldo's immense determination to claw back into the game was immediately visible through his body language. As they say, when all hope dies, Ronaldo will be the last man standing they can look up to.
He is a born leader of the highest pedigree; it will definitely be a tedious task for Los Blancos to find a player with versatile qualities as good as Ronaldo (as Marcelo said so himself on his Instagram post).
Ronaldo's hunger and desire to win is matchless. Even if Real sign both Neymar and Hazard, it's impossible for them to induce the same desire of the former number 7 to win silverware.
