Cristiano Ronaldo is Real Madrid's only 'undisputable' player - Rafa Benitez

Rafael Benitez insists Cristiano Ronaldo will continue taking free kicks despite criticism of his scoring record, after Real Madrid's hard-fought win over Granada.


Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is the only "undisputable" player at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, according to coach Rafa Benitez.
Ronaldo, 30, has been Madrid's undeniable attacking leader for each of the last six seasons, but there was a suggestion earlier this season top billing could now be at least shared with €100 million signing Gareth Bale.
This feeling grew through the opening weeks as Bale was moved to a more central attacking role and Ronaldo was scoreless through his first two games, while some local pundits thought Benitez had not adequately recognised the Portugal captain's status in public.
