Real Madrid boss Schuster: Robinho has taken a backwards step

Robinho instead joined Manchester City for £32.5million on transfer deadline day.

Schuster now believes Robinho has taken a backwards step in his career.

Schuster said: “I wanted to keep him but you cannot keep someone who does not want to stay.

“If he wants to be a key player at a club, then we respect that. But he’ll be doing that at a small club.”
