Real Madrid didn't only lose Cristiano Ronaldo's 50 goals a season , they lost the mentality he brought in the team , and the fear factor , now it's different teams just go at them cause they are toothless . it's more just goals , he uplifted them a lot , with just his presence . pic.twitter.com/z7dFPoCSoI

Apparently, Real Madrid needed Ronaldo, Zidane, referee and penalties to beat Ajax - none of which they had. 😂

There was a reason Zidane walked away, He insisted on keeping #Ronaldo but his suggestions were ignored by #RealMadrid 😕 So this is what happened when you lose your record goalscorer and leader in attack ...
Zidane made the right decision and his Legacy is still intact pic.twitter.com/8NTVnh6USV

Real Madrid didn't just lose "Cristiano Ronaldo", they lost a leader, a glue that was holding the pieces together.
You CAN'T deny the fact that the team has fallen apart after his departure, where is Bale's "more like a team" now?

A leader like Ronaldo can't be replaced. pic.twitter.com/iBDv75i7q0

Modric deserved the Balon d'or he won, he was outstanding that year, whatever he's playing now won't stop that from being a fact.

Grown men on here argued with people that Modric deserved to be named the best player on the planet. We haven’t forgotten

There's a reason Zidane walked away and so many big names turned the job down. Real Madrid need an overhaul. They weren't great last season either, CL aside. It was a thankless task trying to overachieve once again with a squad that lost its spark - and record goalscorer.

We like to talk about the best signings and appointments in football history. Zinédine Zidane surely behind one of the best resignations.

Zidane knew. He knew this Real Madrid team have ran their last race. He was smart to leave at the right time...
