It will make you forget Cristiano, the surprise of the winter in Madrid

A great cast of forwards have passed through Madrid over the last decade, but the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema has diluted the chances that these footballers could succeed during their time at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Of course, there are also other renowned strikers such as Timo Werner who were the object of desire of Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti, the last two coaches who have been in charge of the Merengue project, but who did not even have the opportunity to land in the Spanish capital. since Florentino Pérez did not agree to fulfill this request, knowing that he would have to make a significant investment in a footballer who could enjoy very few minutes because of Benzema.

His disastrous adventure at Stamford Bridge currently persists in his second stage at Leipzig and, occupying a secondary role, the German is open to a change of scenery again in January. And be careful, here the surprise is capital this Tuesday, November 28, since Manchester United has chosen Werner as its priority to strengthen the squad in the next transfer window.

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo just a year ago, despite the fact that he ended his time at the Red Devils with very little prominence, continues to wreak havoc on the current project since Rasmus Højlund, the forward who arrived in the summer to take over, He is offering a somewhat disconcerting performance given that, although he has scored 5 goals in the Champions League, the Dane has not yet made his debut in the nine games played in the Premier League.

Ten Hag's opinion
