Hyderabad: La Liga giants Real Madrid have so far struggled in replacing club's record goal-scorer Cristiano Ronald and Los Blancos' boss Zinedine Zidane feels that Portugal star is irreplaceable.
Real are currently third placed in La Liga with 60pointss from 31 matches. They will next face 13th placed Leganes on Monday night. Madrid is 14 points behind table toppers and traditional rivals Barcelona with no hope of lifting the cup. Real have also been knocked out from the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
Speaking about Ronaldo Zidane said, "You can do what you want but you can't replace Cristiano," before adding, "He's gone but we can bring in other players that aren't going to do what Cristiano has done. That's life."
Following Ronaldo's departure to Juventus, Frenchman Karim Benzema has stepped up and is Real's top goalscorer in 2018/19 so far. Zidane also heaped praises on Benzema.
"Benzema is compatible with everyone because he can bring all the good players together," Zidane added.
"Karim is a different player, he's not a typical No. 9. When I saw him start, he was playing more in midfield and out wide. He knows that he can do many things, he can score like a No. 9 and he can do link-up play."
