Real Madrid's Ronaldo & Xabi Alonso Penalty Row Broadcast On Spanish TV
Unrest between Madrid's players highlighted by the Spanish media.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid, Villarreal (Getty Images)A dispute between Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso over who should take the penalty in the latter stages of Real Madrid's 6-2 thumping of Villarreal has been broadcast on Spanish television, illustrating an underlying discord between the Merengues.
Spanish TV station Canal + has revealed the conversation between Ronaldo and Alonso in which the former Liverpool midfielder asks his team-mate to allow him to take the penalty. The conversations as shown on Canal +:
"Cris, give it to me," says Alonso.
After no response the Spanish international continues: "Because I haven't even scored one goal. Let me score one. Let me."
"The next one, I promise you," replies Ronaldo.
"No, stop. Give me this one. Come on, give me the ball," adds Alonso, before taking the ball and placing it on the spot as Ronaldo reluctantly turns away.
While the penalty was being taken Ronaldo opted to stand at the furthest edge of the penalty box and refused to celebrate with team-mates after the spot kick was converted, instead returning to his own half for the kick-off.
The scene's were reminiscent of last December's game between Real and Almeria at the Bernabeu when the Portuguese missed a penalty in the latter stages of the tie and failed to celebrate with team-mates after French striker Karim Benzema converted the rebound.
Ronaldo was later sent off in that game for a petulant kick at Juanma Ortiz. -
Tipical football stars.

nah it should be GK to score that penalty ma

Selfish sial, Ronaldo. Should let Alonso take penalty, give him one chance. R Madrid needs TEAMWORK to win, not Ronaldo himself. Teamwork is important than selfishness.
