Cristiano Ronaldo is angry, very angry. Sure, he lacked manners when speaking about his future on the pitch in Kiev but that doesn't make him the perpetrator as Real Madrid risk losing their star in a very bad manner.

If Ronaldo leaves, which seems like it could happen, it won't be the player who is responsible, but the club. Their questionable management, of a player who has led Los Blancos' second golden age, has been to blame.

After reflection, the winger has wanted to leave for months and that is despite living in Madrid with his family very happily, knowing that he cannot fight for titles in any other team like he does with Real. And yet, he is prepared to leave the fans, who love him for all his foibles, behind.

Lionel Messi has been given many new contracts by Barcelona, almost every season, but that is because he is a once in a lifetime player to whom usual rules do not apply. The same could be said about Ronaldo. The Portuguese talisman doesn't feel as valued as he should be inside the inflated market that Neymar's move to Paris Saint-Germain created.

Naturally, Real Madrid as a club is bigger than any player. That line is often brought out in these moments but that doesn't change the facts. Ronaldo renewed relatively recently and is still behind the Chinese Super League duo Oscar and Ezequiel Lavezzi in terms of wages.

Giving him a contract to retire on seems like a fair enough compliment, especially while Los Blancos try to break the bank with a mega deal for Neymar.

And if Ivan Rakitic, as he says to MARCA, is so positive at the prospect of Ronaldo leaving Madrid, why would the club want to make Antimadridistas happy?
