What is no longer there in your club after a certain key player was transferred?
Missing the excitement of doing it in a particular match.
I mean like back when Ronaldo was still with some great players joining Madrid and Messi was also still with Barcelona, we always looked forward to the exciting competition in every El Clasico match.
Now we don't find that kind of excitement anymore and of course the fans of the team and the fans of the star players must really miss that condition and hope it can happen again. But it is very unreasonable to expect something that is impossible to happen again and just hope to have a new star player who can bring back that moment.
Indeed, Ronaldo and Messi can be one example when they moved to another team and it did have a little effect on the competition in El Clasico.
Indeed, El Clasico is still El Clasico, but the presence of these two players is a special attraction to make the competition much more interesting. Because besides we will watch the match between two teams, the competition between these two players is also what we have been waiting for.
This will also affect the game play of each team when a team's mainstay player leaves, especially if the player is a very influential figure. We can see what Real Madrid experienced when they lost Kroos for example, their playing style changed a little.
