Ronaldo Set To Prove Self In El Classico

The former Manchester United wizard is out to prove to his doubters that he's still capable of delivering, and that he is able to undo even the meanest of defences. In recent weeks, the common consensus has been that Real's number 7 has been the victim of both the system employed by Rafa Benítez and all of football's off-field antics. The 30-year-old feels as if he has been victimised, and is fully aware that the best possible way to put an end to all of the rumours is by putting in a top performance in a game which it is estimated will be watched by some 400 million around the world.
