He has had his fair share of bad games in big games put it's INVALID to brand him a "big game flop." A big game isn't necessarily dependent on the quality of the opposition but also the magnitude and importance of the match. A player solely turning up for his team when they need him most by taking the game by the scruff of the neck counts and he has done that time and time again for both Real Madrid and Man United.

In regards to el clasico, he's the first player to score in 6 consecutive games and has 13 since joining Madrid in 2009 with 3 of those goals being match winning and title deciding ones. Based on that record alone, I'd say he's pretty decent in them...

In general he has never been a big game player,

Bayern knocked them out of the CL and Dortmund and Barcelona Ronaldo was non existent,

Ronaldo was considered a classic flop for his first few years then he finally scored a header to give Real a Cup win over Barca in extra time,

Recently hower he seems to have reverted back, this year, he hasn't done anything to win a classico, but a couple years ago he was unstoppable in the classico, scoring in 5 after another,

I don't think he is a great classico player like Messi, or Ronaldinho, or Raul, not at their level..

Cristiano Ronaldo ....

He is not an el clasico flop !!!

He scored the 2nd goal in the 2011 - 12 season el clasico to win the match 1 - 2 and the La Liga title.

He scored a header goal in extra time to win the Copa del Rey for Real Madrid in the finals vs Barcelona.

He scored in 5 consecutive el clasicos ....

So, no he is not a flop!

Doesnt Ronaldo have the record of scoring in 7 consecutive classico's in a row in camp nou? He does alot better then Messi in el classico's then Messi, just yesterday he could have done a bit better.

100% sure - he was not only a flop in this Clasico but after the match went on complaining like a cry baby. With his attitude he will fail and will never ever win anything big like WC Title.

he has scored 12 goals in classicos same as done by messi and if you realise he had more goals than Messi in Classico till last night and has played for lesser no. of minutes for your kind and less knowledge sir

Most of his goals against Barcelona come in the cup.

Every footballer has their bad nights...... It happens you can't expect him to be 100% ever game, just like Messi didsaiearee against Bayern Munich.... Stuff happens....

I'd say he's not a performer in big games in general, he's let down Real time and time again in Semi finals, finals and El Clasico's

He certainly was last night!

Took his pen well as you'd expect but was pretty poor overall.
