Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has today opened up on the difficulties that his side have faced to start the season, pointing to personnel changes at the club during the summer as a possible explanation.

Struggles:

Los Blancos, who last season racked up both the La Liga and Champions League titles, have started out the current campaign in surprisingly poor fashion.

Zinedine Zidane’s men have already dropped a full 8 points behind fierce rivals Barcelona in the La Liga table, with Valencia also 4 points clear of the champions.

Real’s disappointing form culminated in a 2-1 loss to minnows Girona in Catalonia at the weekend, before the whole of Europe were given a first-hand glimpse at just how worrying the situation at the club has become last night versus Tottenham Hotspur.

The Bernabeu outfit fell to a harrowing 3-1 defeat to Mauricio Pochettino’s men, with the North Londoners completely outplaying their illustrious opponents in every aspect of the game.
