El Classico is one of the most anticipated games not only in Spanish La Liga but across the world. Some people likewise myself believe that the departure of Ronaldo from Madrid actually reduced the enthusiasm of the biggest football fixtures in the world.

Mind you, I'm not trying to say that El Classico is no longer exciting, all I'm trying to say is that the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi influenced by both fans and media made it more exciting.

The bragging rights and the argument about who is a better player between Ronaldo and Messi actually made El Classico a more heated game but now that Ronaldo left Madrid, the excitement of El Classico has reduced to some extent.

To you, has Ronaldo departure reduced the excitement of El Clasico?
