Real Madrid defender Nacho has confessed that he would love to see Madrid’s all-time highest goal-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.
“It is a difficult subject for us. I’ve said it several times. If it were up to us we would love to have Cristiano in the squad because we had him for many years and he is a player who makes a difference,” Nacho was quoted as saying by Goal. Real Madrid have struggled for goals since the Portugal ace left for Italian champions Juventus in the Summer transfer window.
However, Nacho also said the team would have to look forward as Cristiano Ronaldo chose to leave.

“But it is a situation where we cannot feel sorry for ourselves because of Cristiano. He chose to leave,” Nacho said, adding, “We are grateful for everything he did for us and we wish him the best of luck. But we cannot feel sorry for someone who is no longer with us. It isn’t our fault he left, nor was it up to us to make him stay. ”
After Cristiano’s departure, Madrid decided not to buy an elite replacement for CR7 and it seems their decision have come back to bite them as the team have fired blanks for the last four games.
Nacho further said: “I hope he has the best of luck and we have to work through the present and future in the best way we can with what we have,” adding, “Well, Cristiano left and the club decided not to sign anybody. We have a lot of faith in the players we have.”
