Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo blames his team-mates after they failed to foul Sergi Roberto in the build-up to Lionel Messi’s winner in the El Clasico
CRISTIANO RONALDO was left furious after Lionel Messi scored a dramatic winner in Sunday’s El Clasico match, and vented his anger out to his team-mates.
Real Madrid succumbed top spot to Barcelona in La Liga as the Argentinian’s 92nd minute strike leapfrogged his side over Los Blancos.

Right-back Sergi Roberto started the move off, running deep from his own half and powering into the Madrid’s half seamlessly before passing to Andre Gomes who slipped in Jordi Alba, who then found Messi.
Barca made the move look easy, and Ronaldo was left infuriated that the defence were powerless to stop it.
According to Spanish news outlet AS, he shouted: “You should have fouled him,” in reference to stopping Roberto.

Luka Modric and Marcelo were two of the players who failed in their efforts to tackle him, and according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Ronaldo lambasted the two in the dressing room after the full-time whistle.
The Brazilian left-back has since taken blame for the goal, and said: “I take the blame for the last goal but it can happen to anyone.”
Madrid’s boss Zinedine Zidane was also left frustrated that his side – who had Sergio Ramos sent off, should have been more clever when defending.
He said: “You get 2-2 with ten men and then you have to use your head a little bit more, be together to defend.”

Meanwhile Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal is reported to have tormented Luis Suarez over Luis Enrique’s side being knocked out of the Champions League.
According to Spanish TV, the 25-year old said to the Uruguayan: “You lost to Juventus 0-3. Rest to play in the Copa del Rey. And watch the Champions League at home.”
Before adding after the full-time whistle: “This is the home of the champions… Off to rest, to the Copa del Rey.”
Real Madrid are second in the table due to a weaker goal difference, but they do have a game in hand over Barcelona.
