This is what 'Marca' said a couple of weeks ago. Now, 'AS', on their front page this Sunday highlights how important it is for the striker to renew. He has become a key player for the club. A strict diet and disciplined training session at home have helped him become a serious candidate for the Ballon d'Or. He is also key to Real Madrid's success.
