“He (Ronaldo) had a little problem in midweek, but he still wants to play in the Champions League. After an international assignment, it’s only natural that he needs a break. Ronaldo is an added value for us, but we must be able to play our game even though he is not there, “said Pirlo, quoted by the Italian Football, Sunday (29/11/2020).
“Real Madrid used to depend on Ronaldo, he was the main player for the goals and the focal point in the movement of their game. So you can expect him to be a central figure (of the Madrid game) and a lot of the game’s movements are focused on him, “added Pirlo.
