Real Madrid captain Casillas: Ronaldo made STEP UP quitting Man Utd

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas says Cristiano Ronaldo made a 'step up' when he left Manchester United. Casillas insists playing for Real is nothing like in England.

"When Cristiano joined us from Manchester United, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world, with the greatest respect he took that final step that the best have to take. When he came he learned quickly that this isn't the same as in England. People expect more from you.

"They want you to immerse yourself. He has enjoyed sensational seasons, improving as a player. We've become a very strong, consistent and organised team. We help him in every way we can and he does the same for us."
