Former Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart admits he feels let down by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo quit Real for Juventus this summer in a club record €112m deal.

Van der Vaart says he had hoped Ronaldo would play out his career in Madrid.

Now with Esbjerg, the Dutchman stated: "I'm a little disappointed with the exit of Ronaldo.

"Just take Messi, he would never leave Barcelona."
