Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo missed one of the easiest chance to put his side ahead against Barcelona in El Cllasico. The Portuguese star was involved in a speedy counter attack with his teammate Marco Asensio in the 68th minute, but the former's last effort denied the hosts the lead at the Bernabeu at that particular moment.
All he needed to do was to tap the ball inside the net. But the 32-year-old blasted it wide over the top bar. This did not go down well with a section of fans on social media, given that the visitors took the lead five minutes later via Ivan Rakitic. Check out some of the reactions below.
