While he is currently out injured, Ronaldo will again be battling it out with rival Leo Messi for the Ballon d’Or and the Real Madrid crowd made their feelings very clear.
The home side saw Los Blancos claim a 4-1 win over Galatasaray, with Gareth Bale opening the scoring with
a free-kick, despite losing Sergio Ramos early on.
As well as securing Champions League progression, the Madrid faithful also used the occasion to champion Ronnie’s cause for the Ballon d’Or, with Franck Ribery currently the favourite for the gong., though a certain Argentinian playing for Barca will be going for an incredible fourth award in a row.
As well as a giant banner, the club handed out 45,000 Ronaldo masksand also “Ronaldo 7” cards, so the Portuguese star can be a little happier while watching on the sidelines, unable to add to his ridiculous scoring record.
He, or should we say his PR agency, tweeted his appreciation for the efforts of the club and supporters.
Hard to argue against the former Manchester United player getting his hands on the top prize.
