Cristiano Ronaldo arrogantly exited the Wanda Metropolitano stadium after his team’s 2-0 loss at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round-of-16 first leg reminding everyone that he’s won the European title five times while Atletico have yet to win it at all.
Ronaldo failed to answer questions from the media, but as he left the stadium, he turned to reporters and said, showing one of his hands:
“I have five Champions League and Atletico has zero. I have five, Atletico zero.”
As the game went on, Ronaldo responded to boos from the Atletico fans by showing five fingers to the crowd.
“It’s been a difficult night,” Ronaldo shared on Instagram.
“But we have to believe until the end.”
Juanfran was not offended by Ronaldo’s comments.
The Atletico Madrid defender had this to say, “It’s a reality,”
“He has five Champions Leagues and we have none. We will work with humility so that we can get one. But this doesn’t take away the great game we’ve played.”
