Real Madrid players 'turn on teammate Cristiano Ronaldo'

Madrid players 'turn on Cristiano Ronaldo'

A number of Real Madrid players have reportedly grown tired of Cristiano Ronaldo's ego and have turned on the superstar forward.

Los Blancos are in a crisis of sorts following a dismal La Liga title defence to date, leaving them looking over their shoulder at fifth place rather than up at leaders Barcelona.

An alleged dressing room split has now deepened, according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, as Ronaldo's teammates have turned against him.

Marco Asensio, Isco, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Ceballos and Sergio Ramos are said to have led a dressing room revolt against the Portugal international, who has most recently been linked with Premier League champions Chelsea.

Ronaldo won a fifth Ballon d'Or crown in December, but he has just four league goals to his name in 2017-18 and has seen his future repeatedly called into question.
