With the transfer window closing next week, Madrid fans are wondering why their club has yet to react to the loss of their all-time leading scorer
Real Madrid were stunned by the loss of club legend and all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in July, so stunned, in fact, that it appears they have forgotten to sign a replacement.
More than six weeks after the preening Portuguese absconded to Turin in search of greater appreciation, Ronaldo’s throne at the Santiago Bernabeu remains empty. Along with about half the seats.
Fractionally over 48,000 supporters watched Madrid comfortably ease past Getafe on Sunday with 2-0 win, in a performance that lacked sparkle.
