Does Real Madrid need Cristiano Ronaldo?
Real Madrid needs good players and I think we currently have a great squad. I think Cristiano is the best player that could join any team nowadays. We would naturally be delighted if he came here.

This is the same crap that you would hear from any footballer in the world. They just talk good about eachother which is professional. Don't get me wrong, I still...
