"Real" Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the best penalty specialists in the world, but the player's skill has significantly decreased this season, AS reports.
According to the publication, the Portuguese player became famous for his penalties while representing the Manchester team and the accurate technique of the footballer's shots was called "Knuckleball."
However, the situation changed when Gareth Bale joined the Madrid team. Sharing the privilege of taking penalties with Bale, Ronaldo is going through a real drought - the last time he scored from the penalty spot was in last season's Champions League semi-final match against Bayern Munich. In total - 51 shots missed. Bale's statistics are better - in the "La Liga" championship alone, he scored one goal out of 12 attempts.
However, C. Ronaldo's fans can rejoice that their beloved football player continues to score from 11 meters without fail - the accuracy rate reaches a staggering 91.6%."
