Arbeloa sympathy with Ronaldo

Ronaldo revealed that he was unhappy at the weekend, which has prompted a frenzy of speculation.

“If Cristiano is sad and needs the support of his teammates, clearly he’ll have it. He needs the support of the club also. At Real Madrid we are a family,” Arbeloa said. “He doesn’t have the problems that the majority of Spaniards do but it’s perfectly reasonable that he’s sad.”
