Scoring 366 goals in 351 games and being generally regarded as one of the best players of all time grants a player a certain amount of leeway, but that could soon be about to change.

“We are not completely happy because we feel we can still play better”, Tuchel told reporters.
“We’ve drawn in the last two La Liga games”.
The La Liga side took the lead through Cristiano Ronaldo’s drilled finish after Gareth Bale’s backheeled pass.
United were linked with a move for Ronaldo over the summer but they have since dropped their interest in the forward.
Dortmund’s first equalizer came after Raphael Guerreiro’s free kick from 25 meters (yards) was punched out by Keylor Navas.
The ball rebounded into the net off the unfortunate Varane with Aubameyang in close proximity, although the Gabon striker was officially given the goal.
A hat-trick for Ronaldo in Dortmund, who was left fuming after being substituted on Saturday, would see him become the first player to score a century of European goals. We are relaxed. I’m not stupid, and he is intelligent. “We are working hard and focused on what we’re doing”.
Madrid are without defensive Casimiro for the next month and the loss of their only specialist defensive midfielder could be felt against Dortmund, who will look to exploit his absence.
Ronaldo looked to have restored the lead before the break only to have his header correctly ruled offside.
The match was played at pulsating pace, with both teams attacking strongly.
Luka Modric and Karim Benzema combined to get the ball out of their own half. “We believe that we can take on the task at hand and put in an exciting performance for our fans”.
“We played well from the first to the 90th minute”.
“Maybe there was more in it for us”.
Both sides had half chances to take the honours, but neither could grab a victor and one of the games of the season to date ended 2-2.
“We started very well and found enough space for our game”, he added. “It’s tough to come back twice against such a team”, he said.

Slimani, coming off a five-goal haul already against Porto, added another as he headed home from six yards out off a cross from Riyad Mahrez to give Leicester their second win of this season’s Champions League and a flawless result in their first ever home match in the tournament.
