Cristiano Ronaldo rips into reporter after Madrid derby: 'You're not intelligent'

Reuters

Cristiano Ronaldo was not in a good mood on Saturday.

The Real Madrid superstar, returning from suspension, had no impact on the Madrid derby, acting as little more than a spectator while his side were thrashed 4-0 by city rivals Atletico.

Following the contest, Ronaldo took out his lingering frustration on what he deemed a pointless line of questioning from TV3 journalist Sebas Guim during the post-match press conference.

As translated by ESPN FC, here was the exchange between the two men:

Guim: What did you mean to say when you brushed off the badge against Cordoba?

Ronaldo: Do you want to talk about today or about Cordoba, that was three months ago now.

Guim: But I want to know what you wanted to say ...

Ronaldo: What do you want me to say? If you were an intelligent journalist you'd asked me questions about today's game. You're not intelligent. No. Sorry.

Sour, man.
