The agent of Cristiano Ronaldo has defended the Real Madrid star over his performance in defeat to Atletico Madrid.
For many, Ronaldo was the worst player on the pitch.
The former Manchester United star has scored 28 goals and set up nine more in 19 league appearances to help Real lead the Primera Division standings.
"It's very difficult to be Cristiano, honestly," Jorge Mendes said. "In life, there are good times and times when things don't go as well.
"The problem is that Cristiano has accustomed people badly because 99 per cent of the times he does extremely well.
"He decides games, he does everything.
"But when he goes through a spell when things don't go as well, people should stand behind him because we are talking about the best player in the world.
"He is a human being.
"I'm very calm because he is the best professional.
"Cristiano throughout these years has been an example to everyone and will continue to be.
"Cristiano will solve the situation as he always does."
