The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Mestalla and the Ciutat de Valencia have been the three grounds visited by Ronaldo since his takeover of Real Valladolid. If there is no change of plan, the fourth stadium will be the Camp Nou. Returning to the place where he made his name in Spanish football with Barcelona, the Brazilian is expected to take a seat in the stands for Valladolid's LaLiga Santander meeting with the Blaugrana. Ronaldo netted 34 league goals, and 47 in all competitions for the Catalan club before leaving for Inter, and eventually Real Madrid. His five seasons at Los Blancos and his relationship with Florentino Perez has formed a stronger link with Real Madrid than with Barcelona.
Despite spending so much time in the white shirt, Ronaldo is not an especially hated player at the Camp Nou and will watch Saturday's game with Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Valladolid could do Perez and Real Madrid a favour by beating LaLiga Santander leaders Barcelona, before Los Blancos host Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
