Ronaldo's weak point exposed: he has scored only once in his last 68 free kick attempts.
Yet Ancelotti persists in allowing him to take all of Real's free kicks.
Gareth Bale has a far superior record in this respect for Real.
A real weak point for Real.
In Real's last game Ronaldo missed three free kick attempts and a penalty as Real strugled to draw 2-2 with Valencia at home.
Apparently Ancelotti dare not upset Ronaldo by removing him from free kicks.
And yet he is one of the worse regular free kick takers at any major club in Europe.

Very interesting article on the presidency of Real Madrid;

Alex Song and FC Barcelona agree to terminate contract. About time and unsurprising considering he was on loan for two consecutive seasons at West Ham. He was an absolute stain for Barcelona. Song has now been signed by Rubin Kazan.
Barcelona v Sampdoria friendly live tomorrow at 6.30 am on Duke channel.
Good to see there's still some football on Freeview.
Repeated tomorrow and Saturday afternoon.

First big La Liga game of the season as Barcelona play Atletico Madrid. Kicks off at 8:00 and will be on beIN Sports 2. Definitely worth a watch over Northampton vs United.
Another cracker two hours beforehand as Real Madrid play the Yellow Submarines, Villareal, at 6:00 also on beIN Sports 2.
Spanish prosecutors have accused the Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo of defrauding the authorities of millions of euros in tax.
Lucky enough to be spending the week in Spain. Went on stadium tour of the amazing Bernabeu Stadium today. Watched Atletico and Barca lose on tv last night in a bar and tonight watching Real. Such fast football.
