VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo apparently making fun of Lionel Messi’s penalty with Real Madrid team mates

Conan Doherty

Never a dull moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero for Real Madrid on Wednesday night and he showed glimpses that he is back to his very best with another delightful goal.

But it seems that he just couldn’t let the whole Messi rivalry go.

The Portuguese legend walked out of a press conference on Tuesday night after being pushed and pushed about questions of Barcelona and Lionel’s penalty.

Ronaldo doesn’t pass from the spot, he usually just scores. And, before the 2-0 victory over Roma, footage emerged of the Madrid star seemingly making fun of Messi’s spot kick with his team mates.

AS TV captured the Real players in the tunnel apparently talking about a passing penalty move they would deploy against Roma if the chance arrived.

Ronaldo is believed to have said, “I’m sure Arbeloa will shoot [from the kick], oh!” – before he imitates a fake from the penalty that they had decided the defender would take.

“Arbeloa will take it and pass to Cristiano,” Keylor Navas then says.

Maybe that’s why he was diving so much around the box…
