Real Madrid's failure to offer Cristiano Ronaldo financial support during his struggles with the Spanish tax authorities was one of the key factors which ultimately convinced him to leave, according to a report in Spain.
El Mundo, reported vis AS, claim that Ronaldo felt alone in the Spanish capital and a lack of trust in anyone meant that he paid €25,000 a month to a personal driver, who he held in the utmost confidence.
Ronaldo also spent most of his free time training, to the extent that people within the club worried that he was overworking himself.
