Ronaldo Reacts to Real Criticism
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to celebrate his goal against Granada during the weekend rout in a reaction to jeering from the Madrid crowd who were unhappy with his recent performances.

Scoring his 21st La Liga goal of the season and Madrid's 5th in the 5-1 victory, Ronaldo simply bowed his head and trudged back to the halfway line almost as though he'd put it in the wrong net, refusing to acknowledge his team mates whatsoever. Madrid based sports paper, … [Read more...]

Nevertheless, Manuel Pellegrini's men ran out convincing winners against a team who look to be in for the long run already. … [Read more...]
