Koke slurs outrageous insult at Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo scores hat-trick and hits back brilliantly

Don't poke the bear.

Don't give Cristiano Ronaldo any more excuses to score. Real Madrid are in a crazy bout of form and their unbeaten run spans to 29 games now under Zinedine Zidane. They're top of the league and they're sitting pretty. They're in such good form, in fact, that they strolled across the city, kicked seven shades out of their fiercest rivals Atletico and waltzed back out of the lion's den unfazed. Diego Simeone has created a fortress to frighten the most daring and, up until Saturday, it was business as usual at the Vicente Calderon where the hosts were unbeaten in the league and had leaked just four goals throughout the campaign. Real Madrid and Ronaldo soon put an end to that and Atletico might not thank Koke for riling up the opposition superstar. The pair's heads came together in the second period and some harsh words were exchanged. According Spanish radio station Cadena SER, Koke labelled Ronaldo a "f*ggot". They were both given yellow cards for the confrontation but, within 14 minutes, the Portuguese man had added two more goals to his tally. Ronaldo won a penalty, dispatched of a penalty and ran away coolly to celebrate the penalty. His third was special although he might not be getting the credit that he deserves for it. He's looking for the ball off Isco initially but the Spaniard goes long to Bale. Ronaldo? Well, he just takes off. And just look at the bloody pace he produces. The celebration was yet more release of aggression. He fired back at Koke and it was a nice response. The Mirror are reporting that Ronaldo replied to the 'f*ggot' jibes:

"I might be a f*ggot... but a very rich one. Arsehole."

He's also a very fast one. Aaron Kernan joins Colm Parkinson on The GAA Hour to explain the work he's doing for the Club Players Association. Derry captain Chrissy McKaigue talks Slaughtneil and a Dublin club advertising for hurlers gets a sore touch. Subscribe here on iTunes.
