LaLiga: Bellingham’s late goal gives Real Madrid ‘Clasico’ win to leave title in their grasp
The win leaves Real Madrid 11 points clear of Barcelona with just six games.
A five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo touched down in Turin on Sunday
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has slammed the football club’s decision to sell Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo for €112m to Juventus. Calderon has even termed Real Madrid’s decision to sell their all-time highest goal scorer as “historical error”.
Speaking to AS, Calderon said, “It’s very sad that they have sold a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s a real pity,” adding, “With what it cost me to sign him, the effort that we made to bring him to Madrid…. Manchester [United] did not want to sell him and it was very difficult. And now they have sold him for 100 million euros. There isn’t a player who scores 60 goals a year for you and is worth to you 100 million euros.”

Calderon, who was responsible for luring Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu from Manchester United in 2009, added: “Selling Cristiano is not good news, either for 100 million or a billion. But it is true that we put a clause of a billion euros to discourage those interested in him in the future, but at the same time, to show that there was no other player like him. It’s a historic error.”
