Cristiano Ronaldo prompted a fit of giggles from his Real Madrid teammates prior to Sunday’s thumping win over Deportivo by engaging in a spot of Lionel Messi trash-talk with the club’s mascots. Ronaldo had an eventful evening, scoring twice in Real’s 7-1 demolition – though suffered a bad cut on his head in the process of netting the second goal.
Cristiano left the field covered in blood, but not before checking the damage on his iPhone camera, and some Barcelona fans considered his injury karma for mocking Messi….Video
The Portuguese superstar was approached in the tunnel by an excited young fan, which led to a hilarious exchange:
Mascot: “For me you are the best in the world and Messi is…”
Ronaldo: “…is bad.”
Mascot: “The worst! The worst!”
Ronaldo: Gives thumbs up
Ronaldo’s conversation prompted plenty of laughter within the tunnel, with a big grin appearing on Gareth Bale’s face and Dani Carvajal laughing out loud.
