Consistency plays a big part [in winning titles] and there is no player more consistent than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Even when the team doesn't play well, you know he will turn up. Also for the fringe players it gives them a rest. He has lived with the pressure for 20 years, so knows what it is like to go a game or two without scoring. He will get his head down and score.
For other players coming through when he does get a rest, the pressure is off them and hopefully that gives them the freedom to be more relaxed so they can score a few more goals.
