When Real Madrid traveled to Atletico in Saturday’s Madrid derby, tempers flared. The reason was not only because this was a clash between two rivals, but also because the home side were thrashed 3-0.
Cristiano Ronaldo tore Los Rojiblancos apart en route to a record-breaking hat-trick, as Los Blancos strengthened their grip on the lead. The Portuguese ace, who undeniably enjoyed a fine day at the office, was involved in a bust-up with a rival player.
The three-time Ballon d’Or winner butt heads with Koke, as the Spaniard struggled to influence the game. Cadena Ser claim to have caught what was said in that altercation, as the report insists Cristiano was provoked.
According to the Spanish radio station, Koke called the 31-year-old a “fa**ot”. Cristiano, who trended for performing a new goal celebration that went viral, came back with a knockout response.
The Portugal captain said: "I might be a faggot, but a very rich one. A**hole.”
None can deny the authenticity of what Ronaldo said. The former Manchester United ace is the world’s highest paid footballer – level with Messi – earning a staggering £365,000 per week.
