VIDEO: Ronaldo had an angry confrontation with a reporter after Real’s 4-0 derby hammering

Not a happy 30th birthday

Someone was very cranky last night

Real Madrid slumped to massive 4-0 defeat by their city rivals Atletico last night and it was not a good night for the World Footballer of the Year.

Ronaldo was back for the first time since a two-game ban for his red card picked up against Cordoba last month but failed to make any impression as Diego Simeone’s side totally dominated the European champions. Even Fernando Torres set up a goal for God’s sake.

So when asked after the game about his red card a few weeks ago, needless to say the Portugal international was not happy.

A reporter dared to question why the 30-year-old  touched his badge after the red card and he responded: ‘ What do you want me to say? If you were an intelligent journalist you’d asked me questions about today’s game.’

It would probably have been advisable to stop digging right there but unfortunately in a journalistic quest for the truth that SportsJOE can fully endorse he went at it again.He tried to explain why he was asking the question but Ronaldo cut him off with a withering response ‘You’re not intelligent. No. Sorry.’
