Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a dilemma ahead of Real Madrid’s last La Liga match against Espanyol Barcelona. The Portuguese star is eager to play, eyeing the chance to secure the European Golden Shoe award. However, concerns about his fitness, especially with the upcoming Champions League final against Atlético Madrid, are causing a stir within the club.
While Ronaldo believes he can manage to play a full 90 minutes, the Real Madrid medical team is more cautious and reluctant to risk further injury to their star player. The situation has sparked a debate between Ronaldo and the club’s decision-makers.
Seeking additional opinions, Ronaldo consulted with his personal doctor, Noronha, and physiotherapist, Joaquin Juan. According to reports from El Confidencial, Ronaldo’s personal doctor advised against taking any risks with his health, suggesting he should refrain from playing in the match.
With supporters also urging caution, fearing a potential relapse like the one Ronaldo experienced earlier this month against Valladolid, the pressure is mounting on the Portuguese forward to prioritize his health over personal accolades.
