It might be relevant in the sense that having won an important tournament with his country is relieving him from some pressure although I think it could be more due to the fact they're sitting top of the league, with two pending games, and they're almost through in the next round of UCL while Barcelona is virtually out of it. It's still unexpected him playing him like that, not because I think he's an arrogant cnut but like Downcast said he seems to be at ease now while performing as a sort of hybrid between his winger days and a 9 when he became a more prolific scorer. He's only lacking goals to round off his already good performances but he seems to be ok about it.

Eibar with very aggressive pressing, but Sevilla is still play their way out from the back....
He was still behaving cnutish after he won the EURO so dunno if I agree with that theory.
Ronaldo is also taking players on again.
Damn. Stuff I'd like to see Rashford try pulling off.
I do a djokovic grandslam winning hulk celebration when he doesn't run the ball over the byline.
Nice goal from sarabia. Sevilla 1:0 up
@Acheron has perfectly understood my post. Cr7 has changed.
We could even add Cr7 knows it would be hard for Messi to win the Ballon d'or 2017 if Barcelona fails to qualify for the QF of the ECL and RM wins La Liga.
Moreover, contrary to the former RM coach Benitez, Zidane knows how to treat Cr7 for many obvious reasons.
And to illustrate further my point of view, let's compare Cr7 in 2014 and Cr7 in 2016
Cr7 who wins the Ballon D'or 2014
Cr7 who wins the Ballon D'or 2016
not the best game. it started fairly intense, but the quality is rather mediocre.I will watch the last 30 minutes
Dude spare me them novels and detailed analysis please, he was being a cnut after he won EURO.
You're right. Your posts don't deserve any consideration.
finally. Sevilla with the 2:0 (Vitolo) in overtime. Jovetic with a very good performance and two assists.
Yeah. Sevilla had to rest in view of the upcoming game against Leicester.
Holy c**p are you really contending that Ronaldo changed his approach and behavior because he has won another "Ballon d'or" and EURO?
I mean seriously?
He was still moaning, waving his arms around and complaining at his teammates up until 2 weeks ago.
Do you remember the time when Zidane subbed him off 30 minutes before the end to save him for CL match and how furious he was because of it?
It turned into a huge scandal, he even said few bad words to Zidane whilst coming off which was later exposed. Therefore I doubt that Zidane is a specialist on how to handle him and doubt it even more that he managed to change Ronaldo's behavior or influence him in that way.
I think that the change in his behavior is due to fans booing him and openly asking for him to be dropped up until few weeks ago.
yes. Nasri went off early, Vitolo+Mariano only as subs.
Eibar started really strong, but they put a lot of effort into the game, so it wasn't a surprise, that they would get tired in the second half. 49 points now, so if Real doesn't win their game-in-hand, Sevilla might be still in a shout for the title.
Seville second after Eibar.

An article in As about one of the keys of Madrid. The players from bench have given the 39.9% of the goals and 42% of assists: Morata 11goals,Asensio 7,Isco 5+6,Lucas 9 assist or James,who although hardly played is the second with more assists(10).
Changing the subject Deportivo lost again. Sporting,Granada or Osasuna tried to find solutions so maybe it's time to sack Garitano before it's too late.
I was thinking of Luis García,the ex Getafe although I don't know if he is training.
In Coruña people would like Scaloni,an idol for the fans,perhaps to be our own Simeone

La Real vs Villarreal starts in 5 minutes. Could be a good game. Villarreal needs to win, if they want to have any chance to finish 4th.
Darn, I wanted to catch the Sociedad-Villarreal game this morning. For anyone that does catch it, when it's finished, could you let me know whether it's worth catching later?
Fun game at the moment. Both teams missing open goal after open goal.
Villarreal with a last minute winner in the 93 minute by samu castillejo. The cross would have made Beckham proud.

Yes. I am confused. Obviously the other way around.
Villareal stun Real Sociedad! Never saw it coming.
Big win for Valencia against Bilbao. Barca play Leganés in less than an hour.
Bilbao ended up with 10 men, Laporte injured, so subbed in the first half. Then brought AduriZ and Williams on in the 2nd half for Aduriz to go off injured as well. Bad day.
Oh and Raul Garcia misses the next league game because, surprise, surprise he got booked.Barcelona leading at the moment - Messi goal
How are they playing?
Big chance for Leganes to equalize.
Another half-chance for the Madrid outfit. Barca are still crap.

Barca looks a little better now.. but the little I saw earlier wasn't so good - despite the goal.
Finally a chance for Barca with Rafinha. He just took too much time on the ball.
Uh oh could get nasty in the Nou Camp.
Oh dear Leganes equalise!
1-1
leganes could have had a few more too

Ref still gives Barca a lot of calls and doesn't give similar call so Leganes.
