Cristiano Ronaldo knew full well he would start the derby on the bench. Carlo Ancelotti had agreed to give the Portuguese star a break as the player seemed to have lost some intensity in the previous weeks.
Ronaldo needs a break once in a while - and missing the derby won't be the last - in order for him to make it to the end of the season in good shape. Neither the player nor the coach wants a repeat of last season.
Ronaldo has performed outstandingly in the first part of the season, but he needs to be careful with his knee and avoid pushing himself too far. In the last few weeks he hasn't performed to the best of his abilities and for this reason Carlo Ancelotti and Ronaldo both agreed he should start the new year with a rest.
