Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly has an enduring influence on the way Real Madrid's stars go about their business on the training pitch. 

So devoted are the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. to following his example that it has been dubbed the 'Ronaldo method' in one report. 

Ronaldo left the Santiago Bernabeu in 2018 for Juventus in a £88million deal but his imprint is still evident at the club where he won four Ballons d'Or and Champions League titles. 

Current boss Carlo Ancelotti was in charge from 2013 to 2015 as well so perhaps it is only natural that some scent from the Ronaldo era still lingers. 

Players have been taking an intensive approach to pre-season as inspired by Ronaldo's summer fitness regime, according to AS.
