Real Madrid wants to do exactly what Barcelona did that made me to hate them till date. to use a player and when he becomes attached to the team and fans they ditch them. this is what happened to Samuel etoo and ronaldinho in Barcelona. Ronaldo has been the Pilar of Madrid for 9seasons and deserves more respect from Perez but his blindness and obsession for Neymar had made him mad. I really wish he goes to juve and take on real in the champions lg then Perez will understand why real was winning. CR7 is reals lucky charm. Get well Soon

At this point, is best you retire and face your health so you can take care of your kids and watch them grow. You have already made a lot of money and you are the most decorated GK in the history of football.

He is an amazing footballer, A diamond of Spain. I still remember him in his Real Jersey. Iker is simply unhatable. He saved so many goals but now its about your life. On behalf of all the Af Family, I hope he gets well as soon as possible.

Please let this be your last season. The last thing your fans want is to see you leave us on the pitch. Just take it easy and hang up your gloves and spend some quality family time, enjoy live in a different way off the pitch. Get well soon legend! Love you despite being a Barca fan!
