“There were problems from the start, but it’s Real Madrid. We know they have the biggest name players, a big team, they’re just a few points off first place, and still in the Champions League, but we know what happened in the Copa del Rey.
“Benitez’s tenure didn’t start very well for them.”
I think recent times have been a bit rare for Cristiano. He’s been disheartened and hasn’t had the love he needs,” Futre claimed.

“Now it’s a little better with the arrival of Zinedine Zidane. The big question is whether he will continue with Madrid or leave for Manchester [United] or Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking about the future of former Manchester United man, Paulo Futre said that it seems highly unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Santiago Bernabeu.
The former Atletico Madrid player stated that Cristiano Ronaldo was unsettled under Benitez, however he is happy with the appointment of Zidane, but Paulo Futre feels three times Ballon d’Or will leave at the end of season.
“I think he will. I think a lot will have to change for him to stay. It’s Jorge Mendes’ last chance to do big business in Europe, so the situation is that if a major trophy is won, the League or the Champions League, we’ll see Cristiano away from Madrid.”
