Cristiano Ronaldo has made his debut for his new club Real Madrid. The game was a friendly against the Shamrock Rovers of Ireland, and was played on Monday July 20. Ronaldo played the first half of the game. The coach wanted to get a look at all players, especially the newly arrived, and therefore only gave limited play to most players during the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo was well covered in the 45 minutes that he was on the pitch and managed to create several great opportunities for his team mates. Madrid captain Raul, was the recipient of several ingenious passes from Cristiano, but just fell short of putting the ball past the goaltender.

If yesterday’s friendly against the Rovers was any indication of what the future holds for Real Madrid, it should be a fantastic season for Raul. Ronaldo and Raul seemed to be on the same wavelengths, as far as football positioning goes.
