Real Madrid loses 1-0 to CSKA Moscow in Champions League: Time to panic? | ESPN FC

Dan Thomas, Alejandro Moreno, Steve Nicol and Craig Burley react to Real Madrid losing 1-0 to CSKA Moscow in UEFA Champions League, and what it means for a squad that won the 2018 Champions League final vs Liverpool but has gone three matches without scoring.

Real Madrid haven’t went goalless 3 games in a row since 2007, it’s the first time in 32 ucl games that they’ve failed to score. Of course, nothing to do with Ronaldo leaving, who scored 50% of all their ucl goals last season in every game up to the semi final. Meanwhile, juventus are on their best ever start to a season, 9 wins out of 9 in all comps. RONALDO carries Madrid. Top ucl scorer for the past 6 years in a row, most goals, assists, wins, home and away goals, hatricks, freekicks, quarter, semi and final goals.

I'm a Real Madrid fan but in a way I'm glad that this is happening to them for one good reason, they way they treated CR7. The best player ever played their an no respect.
He got them so many titles, so many goals, so many time he lead the team .
They say "he's jus a good gold scorer" well now they know how important he is

[tobiasbaines]

Modric should have changed the outcome for them ... He is the best player in the world isn't he??? 🤔

[xCaptxCrunchx]

Face it, Ronaldo would always be double teamed even triple teamed at times which gave Bale and Benzema the opportunity to score also Ronaldo would tire out the opponents Right Mid which made it easier for Ramos to defend a tired out right attack mid, Hala Madrid is done winning Champions League better concentrate on La Ligua. OOPS! That's Messi's League, bwaaahahahah

Impressed with CSKA, out of the 14 players who got game time (Including subs) 10 of them were 23 or younger in age. Great result for them especially for a side in a rebuilding stage. Real thoroughly out played them but CSKA could've grabbed a second in the second half, great result for a young team.

If Ronaldo was in real Madrid these pundits would be going after Ronaldo

[universaluser]

This disappointment without Ronaldo is just the beginning. You haven't seen anything yet.

BRACE YOURSELF CAUSE A BIG STORM IS COMING.

[marshatrapp]

Real Madrid needs CR7 more than ever right now, the whole stadium was chanting for "Ronaldo" the other day

[billrocha]

Must’ve been because Modric didn’t start 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[thetropicalmusic]

Disrepect towards ronaldo is real, now look who is suffering, i have never seen barca treat messi the way real treated ronaldo like he is nothing, i would gladly take ronaldo in my team anyday even though i am barca fan.

CSKA in this game:
- 6 new young players starting lineup (transfers of this summer)
- average cost of players (starting lineup): 6 million euros
- average age of players (starting lineup): 24.4 y.o.

This is not an experienced team of high-level professionals. It's not about Ronaldo. You don't need super stars for opponents of this level

[anmolkaur]

Madrid make mistakes to give Mariano number 7

[angelspackersrock]

All the injuries and he decides to give Modric the day off. Then when it all goes bad they hastily bring him on towards the end of the game. Why is nobody questioning that?

[Losblancostalk]

Give me Madrid without Ronaldo and ten piece of wood and it will be Benzema - Sir Alex...I miss Ronaldo so much and also his fan boys they use to help defend Madrid when we lost but now they are gone..😭😭😭😭

[devonbeltran]

You would think after getting rid of Cristiano they would try to replace him with someone with world class potential. I like bale but you cant depend on someone who's going to be injured quite frequently.

[Akpar]

Madrid are shit without Ronaldo. This has always been a fact. He is the only reason that we won all those titles over the past 6 years. They have to bring in at least 2 huge superstars to replace him ASAP or we are not gonna win shit this year or any other year.

[bestdeal]

Real madrid needs Ronaldo when it comes to big game the journey of madrid carry by ronaldo. and real madrid now are declining

[ggordon]

Madrid is shit 💩 without cr7.. it's the starts of Madrid struggle

[reedrichards]

Gareth bale: "real madrid a better team without ronaldo"😐😐😐

[zamfiratosamir]

Zidane knew he needed to get out of this as soon as possiblr
