Time to bench Cristiano? The proof that Ronaldo is no longer undroppable at Madrid

The Portuguese has had a torrid time in the Primera Division this term, scoring only four goals in the competition so far. Perhaps be needs a break...

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 422 times for Real Madrid and 289 of those goals have come in La Liga. This season, however, the Portuguese has netted only four in the Primera Division and, as a result, Zinedine Zidane's side are well off the pace.

After winning a Liga and Champions League double in 2016-17, Madrid were expected to dominate – especially after they started the current campaign by beating Manchester United and then Barcelona to claim two more trophies in August.
