Cristiano Roaldo has vowed not to speak to the press again this season, after Real Madrid’s 4-3 defeat to Schalke 04 on Wednesday.
The Portugal captain scored twice for the defending champions, as they came from behind twice against the Bundesliga outfit. Madrid were only able to progress, thanks to their 2-0 win in the first leg of the encounter.
Ronaldo appeared to be unhappy during the game and was caught on camera by Canal Plus, telling his team-mate Karim Benzema “this is embarrassing”.
When the 30-year-old appeared before the media after the game, he simply said: “I’m not going to talk. I won’t talk to the press again until the end of the season.”
Ronaldo is believed to be considering his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
