The image spoke a thousand words. Head in hands and sunk to his knees on the Santiago Bernabeu turf, Cristiano Ronaldo cut a forlorn and frustrated figure as Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw at home to Valencia on Sunday.The Portuguese had done everything but score, setting up team-mates for spurned opportunities, forcing Vicente Guaita into a string of saves and even hitting the woodwork. But ultimately, albeit by the finest of margins, he had failed to deliver. And he knew it.
