Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo separated just under a year ago, in July of 2018. It was an amicable divorce. Both sides had their reasons after an intense decade of coexistence and of being together every day. The relationship had become a little worn down.
Now, around 11 months later, the only conclusion that can be made so far is that both parties ended up losing. Real Madrid didn't realise the void that was left behind, or at least they couldn't find a replacement to fill it in the hyperinflated transfer market. They've just had their worst season in the 21st century.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, has had his worst goalscoring season since 2009. He netted just 28 at Juventus, even less than Karim Benzema and well behind the 61 of his best Real Madrid season. His team didn't go far in the Champions League and that could also cost him in the Ballon d'Or race.
Both parties, the club and the player, have paid a high price for this separation.

Both parties ? I can see one with the player of the League trophy and has the highest goal contributions while the other still struggled till the end of the season.

well Ronaldo suffered fro being in a defensive team but still getting a good season while the only thing real Madrid had was bottler benzema and a half ass golfer.

Everybody who knows football knows it was a lost for both parties. It was a collision of Egos but Ronaldo did deserved what he had demanded. Perez simply thinks the Ronaldo was just good because of his teammates and didnt value him. well You dont know what you have until you lost it! Perez should be agreeing with this by now though he didnt admit it. But for Ronaldo he was just in a new club and still manage to score that tons, Juventus will built a team around him and who knows what await next season. Its always easier to build a team around a leader. In my opinion CR7 is winner. Because even if Madrid wants to replace him it will come at a huge cost in the hyperinflated market.

CR7 is the Best player in the world look atl what people say is rubish because u can not tell me real Madrid didn't realize the void left by Ronaldo and that he lost that is absolutely rubish for me because CR7 came out the best player in serie A Scored 5 goali in just 3 chapionsleague games with a team that play poor attacking football , has less technic , deffencive minded ,a less technicaly and poor coach and then u espect 50 goals come on!! guys that is the reality he is simply the greatest even with all this he didn't play 8 games and was often used as a substitute because of the championsleague u guys really lack something to talk about he . is simply a god long life to our greatest champion CR7

Anyone who know football knows that the cr7 was not the only reason why madrid lost this season so much there were so many factors cr7 was a big loss but loosing zidane was a big loss too. when ever a new manager come its always hard for team to get used to his philosophy and ideas. it was a factor too but everyone is unseeing it for different reasons (cr7 fans because now they hate madrid,haters because they just wants to show madrid is worst club in history and some dont even know a thing about this so they are saying what ever they are hearing) and people who are saying zidane is lost so many times this season was also because of cr7 are serious shit. zidane tried every single player in only 11 matches and wanted to know who he can rely on and who should leave. ramos didnt even play under zidane (because of injury and i dont know if its real). marcelo certainly show what he is capable of under zidane again etc etc zidane know what he is doing and now he have more control of his team. I think real madid needed this season to be their worst season so that preze trust his coach and give him what he need. FOR ME EVERYTHING HAPPEND FOR GOOD THIS SEASON.

in any case CR7 won 2 trophies and still aiming at another, he won the MVP also, so R Madrid is worst hit. adjusting to Italian soccer especially a club with heady players, it would b difficult netting at first. CR was benched in some games because of CL too

seriously even with CR7 in Madrid the signs had been showing,success in the champions league only covered what was to come next to Madrid, look at the manner they were losing in the League and the league cup against the minnows ,Madrid needed rebuilding with or without Ronaldo which they didn't, they only brought in young talented but inexperienced players , Ronaldo succeeded in winning the league bcuz he had enough supply and the defence were solid, am not taking credit from Ronaldo just saying he can't single handedly safe Madrid over 38 league matches, he will also need a good and organized team to help him out, so definitely Ronaldo is the winner in this divorce even though it cost him a sixth Balloon d'or
