Though the flamboyant Portuguese had slowed down a bit mid-season he managed to regain his touch. His heroics in the Champions League that helped Los Blancos reach the final seems to have silenced his critics.
Cristiano Ronaldo notched up 26 goals in 27 matches with 5 assists to his name in the 2017-18 La Liga season. His thrilling pace and trademark dribbles have been too hot to handle.
Although the 32-year-old had expressed his disappointment as they were unable to lift the La Liga title, the enterprising striker has played a vital role in his side’s fortunes in the Champions League helping them reach the finals of the most prestigious footballing event in Europe.
Ronaldo has teamed up quite well with the likes of Karim Benzema in the forward line. He has also colluded well with the likes of Marcelo and Sergio Ramos in defense as well as with the midfield consisting of Isco, Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric.
He also colluded well with the midfield. Zinedine Zidane had stated that Ronaldo’s presence and form tend to lift his side’s morale in crucial games. The striker has set really high standards as far as his fitness is concerned.
The 5 time Ballon d' Or award winner highlighted his sensational performances in a game against Sevilla in the La Liga when the striker showed his attacking prowess with his electric pace.
