Barcelona coach Valverde: Ronaldo big loss for Real Madrid
Posted Sunday, July 29, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde concedes Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Juventus is a blow for Real Madrid.
But he insists there's no reason to write off Real as a title challenger.
"He is an important loss for them, like the one we have with Iniesta," the coach explained.
"We'll soon see if they feel the effects of it or not.
"Even without Ronaldo, Real Madrid will be a candidate to win everything, as will Atletico Madrid."
