Real Madrid haven't scored in three matches in a row, something that never happened during Cristiano Ronaldo's time at the club.
Keylor Navas discussed the absence of the Portuguese forward in relation to this mini goal drought and admitted it could be having a negative effect.
"Cristiano Ronaldo set the bar very high, that's no secret," he said.
"You cannot cover the sun with one finger.
"But it's in the past now and we can't live off that.
"My teammates do the best they can and the goals will come."
The next match for Real Madrid will come away at Alaves this weekend, although Navas wasn't sure if he'll start or if Julen Lopetegui would put Thibaut Courtois back in goals.
"I don't know if I'll play in Vitoria," he told reporters.
"You have to ask the coach about that.
"But I'm always prepared to play.
"We respect Lopetegui's decisions with regards to the goalkeeping position."
In recent weeks, Courtois has been starting in LaLiga Santander and Navas has played in the Champions League, although it remains to be seen if it'll continue that way.

Ronaldo = Benzema +Bale +Iisco + Modric + Asensio. The truth has come out from Navas. Tell Perez to buy Messi to escape from the situation. It is now proved a player is sometimes above the club. Long live my favourite Christiano.

To every generation the god of soccer sends a representative. But in this generation he sent two,CR7 and Messi. To barca, messi is valued and they remained blessed, to Madrid they fail to recognise CR7 and they are doomed! This is simply Karma!

After seeing how the madridistas treated Cristiano after his departure, I just want to see Madrid lose all the games of the season. For me, that would be the only way for the Madridistas to swallow their words of mischief towards CR7. A little humility and more about your legends will go very well

The presence of CR7 is enough to send a shiver of fear among the opposition defenders. And the recent example is the 2-2 draw el classico where 11 man RM failed to get into 10 man Barcelona defence and fail to make a single run in their Barcelonian box in the 2nd half after the substitution of CR7. Opposition defenders were always left in the state of confusion because of his off ball movement and this creates space for RM attacks to move into the box. They may play like Barcelona now, but they never meant to play like that. Rafa Benitez tries to force them into a possession based football and we know what happened. Jose Mourihno, Ancelloti, Zidane knows what tactics best suits Real Madrid. And everytime there is CR7 to lead these tactics and bring them glory. But what this club give him in return? Boo's, betrayal, his friends/players of RM starting to talk negative about him. No Farewell given, even his jersey has been given to a person who didn't guarantee his place in the starting 11. Shame!!
