There are few things in this world that make Cristiano Ronaldo happier than seeing James Rodriguez fall victim to a nutmeg.
Following September's video (below) showing the Portuguese superstar celebrating the demoralizing maneuver on Rodriguez, Ronaldo was at it again. Only this time he was overjoyed by a defender's nutmeg on the young Colombian.
As Real Madrid performed the traditional keep-away drill during training ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Liverpool, Marcelo wisely saw an opening and slid the ball between Rodriguez's legs to the delight of Ronaldo.
Rodriguez carried on as if nothing happened, but Ronaldo wouldn't let it go as he pumped his fists and playfully mocked his teammate.
