Pochettino Feels There Is More Real Madrid than Ronaldo

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insisted there is more to Real Madrid than just Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Tuesday's Champions League showdown with the titleholders.

Pochettino face the daunting trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to meet two-time defending champions Madrid, who were led by Ronaldo's winner against Getafe in La Liga on Saturday.

Tipped to add to his four Ballon d'Or awards this year, Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer has netted six goals in all competitions this term.

"He's a very important player, but they have lots of very good players," Pochettino said via the Mirror.

"The squad they have is amazing and they have a very good manager. They're a fantastic club, but you need contributions from the whole squad to win titles."

"Cristiano is like [Lionel] Messi, they have a huge impact on their team. He's one of the best players in the world, it's clear," Pochettino added.
