Take a look at the keepers he scored those freekick against though... most of them were guys like Almunia, Green or James.... or even worse, championship keepers in Cup games.
I believe it's not so much that he has become a worse free kick taker, but rather that he stopped facing awful keepers, which the prem was infamous for 10 years ago.
I have to disagree with that, Ronaldo's free kicks have definitely deteriorated over time but I think the main difference is people highlight the stunners he hit with Manchester United and ignore the ones he missed there as well
Now with Real he arguably takes more free kicks, he still scores at a decent percentage but he is barely a top 10 free kicker anymore
In my humble opinion
Besides, expecting Ronaldo to win it with a free kick in the 93rd minute is quite absurd. Him putting that header right at the keeper is more conversation worthy
