Granero backing Real Madrid pal Ronaldo: He just wants to do well

Esteban Granero insists Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo has settled in well at his new club.

Both players were on the scoresheet in Real's win at Espanyol and Granero rubbished claims Ronaldo was struggling with the pressure of his £80 million price-tag.

"It makes no sense. Cristiano is happy, is off the mark and we all know this," said Granero. "It is normal to need extra time to adjust, but I do not see him anxious, instead eager to play good football.

"He will be one of the most important players in the Liga."
