It has been revealed that six players have risen up against the club, with the plan of having Cristiano Ronaldo dropped from the starting line-up. The Portuguese star has scored 31 goals in 39 appearances this season for Real Marid, yet the players feel the team plays better without him.
According to Spanish media outlet Don Balon, the players who want Ronaldo dropped are Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Isco Alarcon, Marco Asensio, and Alvaro Morata — warning the club officials that the idea of untouchables need to be broken. The 32-year-old was criticized for his performance in home El Clasico loss against Barcelona last Sunday.

The source also said that Ronaldo had a huge bust-up with team-mates Marcelo and Modric after the match, with the club captain Sergio Ramos even having to hold him back to stop the argument from turning into a fight. The Portuguese was reportedly unhappy with both players’ role in conceding the late goal to Barcelona, scored by none other than his biggest rival Lionel Messi.
Madrid’s bench players shone against huge win over Deportivo La Coruna yesterday, with James Rodriguez striking twice while Lucas Vasquez, Morata, Isco, and Casemiro also chipping in with one goal each. The players believe that the team plays with much more unity without Ronaldo, and with important matches coming up in both La Liga and Champions League, they want Zinedine Zidane to field the best eleven possible without any bias.
