Cristiano Ronaldo has made a savage comment towards one of his ex-Real Madrid team-mates - following an interview in which his penis was mentioned.
Ronaldo is one of football's greatest ever players, with the Portugal international currently leading the way as the top goalscorer in the history of club and international football.
Nine years of his legendary career were spent with Real Madrid between 2009 and 2018, where he firmly established himself as one of world football's top two players alongside Lionel Messi.

He played with some of the finest players on the planet at the time, with his approach to football usually spoken highly of.
In an interview with talkSPORT, former Real team-mate Rafael van der Vaart complimented Ronaldo on his work ethic - in perhaps the most bizarre way you could think of.
He said: "He never left his house!

"I always say as a joke - Ronaldo is the only player that I never saw his penis. He was the first one on the training pitch and the last one who went.
"First of all, his body, wow! A machine. He was a little bit ahead of his time, players now are the same. But the training in the gym, food, sleep... for him that was more important than training extra hard."
He said: "Ronaldo was unbelievably selfish, if we won 6-0 and he did not score, he was not happy. When we lose but he scored twice, it'd be alright."
Van der Vaart's 'unbelievably selfish' quote was published on a separate Instagram page - and Ronaldo decided to respond to him with a four-word comment.

He simply wrote: "Who is this guy?"
Ronaldo turns 40 in February but has signalled his intention to keep playing well beyond then with Al Nassr, including the 2026 World Cup.
He said: "I just want to enjoy playing football. Planning my retirement, whether it's in one or two years, I don't know.

"I will soon turn 40, and as long as I feel motivated, I will keep going."
