Even when he is not playing, Cristiano Ronaldo finds a way to have a higher impact than many others on the pitch. When Real Madrid traveled to Germany seeking to get past Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the 29-year-old superstar stole the headlines with his agitated behaviour on the touchline.
During the 2013/14 Copa del Rey final, the FIFA Ballon d'Or titleholder was at it again. This time, he captured the attention of the media and fans from the stands with his stunning 'baseball look' and his goal celebrations. At the end of the match, Ronaldo was all smiles and his show didn't end just yet. He stepped onto the pitch to share words with Lionel Messi.
In an instant, images of the two greatests rivals in world football currently went viral. Let's take a look at how El Clasico unfolded from Cristiano Ronaldo's point of view, on Wednesday, April 16, 2014.
