The Portugal international's performance in the
Blancos 4-0 thrashing at home to Barcelona was
bad enough to trigger widespread jeering from his
own supporters
Real Madrid fans have vented their anger at
Cristiano Ronaldo after watching their side sink to a
crushing 4-0 defeat by Barcelona on Saturday at
the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo was powerless to prevent Luis Enrique’s
side moving six points clear at the top of La Liga
thanks to a double from Luis Suarez and goals from
Neymar and Andres Iniesta.
The white handkerchiefs were out in force at the
final whistle with Rafa Benitez now under increasing
pressure having been forced to deny rumours of a
rift between himself and key players including
Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and James Rodriguez in the
build-up to his first Clasico as Real Madrid coach.
Ronaldo was certainly not the sole person to blame
for a shambolic display at home to the European
champions, but many of the jeers from Blancos
supporters were directed towards him nonetheless.
The Ballon d'Or holder has not scored in his last
three games and frustration at his performances
have grown in the Spanish capital recently, despite
bagging 13 goals so far this season.
During the international window, rumours surfaced
linking him with 2016 moves to Paris Saint-
Germain, Chelsea and Manchester United, the latter
of whom he played for until joining Madrid for a
world-record fee in 2009.
