The storm came rumbling down during a Tottenham Hotspur match where he was benched. No one knew at that time, but this is where it all ended. He was the biggest star of that team and being benched along with some other issues got the better of Ronaldo. He left the stadium mid-game. Fans thought it was a small hiccup and the team will talk to him and everything will be fine. They had no idea what Piers Morgan had in his pocket for them.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaving is a boon for some players

When Ronaldo played for Manchester United, he was the no. 1 player on the team. Every fan and opponent had their attention on the star. This exact phenomenon led Ronaldo to overshadow his peers. Many experts are now saying that although very unfortunate situation but Ronaldo leaving Manchester United turned out to be better for a couple of players who are now shining.

One such expert/ former professional soccer player is Liverpool veteran John Barnes. In a talk with Bonus Code Bets, he said, “I think that since Ronaldo has gone, look at Jadon Sancho, look at Marcus Rashford, a lot of players are doing better because Ronaldo overshadowed them. I think Rashford had a bit of a dip, because he wanted to be one of the main players of Man Utd, as he is.”
