Former Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano feels they're suffering without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real have failed to score in the last four games, while Ronaldo again struck for Juventus in victory at Udinese on the weekend.

Valdano reasoned: "Real Madrid had a goal fanatic with Cristiano Ronaldo, and he's gone.

"The club lost the biggest scorer in its history. The talent of a striker is very particular, like that of the goalkeeper.

"And today, no Real Madrid player possesses his talent."
