Ronaldo unhappy at Real Madrid

Posted Monday, September 03, 2012 by ESPN

Cristiano Ronaldo's future with Real Madrid has been thrown into doubt after the Portugal international revealed he is unhappy with the club.

Ronaldo bagged a brace in Real's 3-0 win over Granada which included his 150th goal for the club but refused to celebrate the achievement. Later after the match, he cited "a professional issue" as the reason for his behaviour.

"I'm sad because of a professional issue and the club know why," he told reporters.

"That's why I didn't celebrate the goals, because I'm not happy. The people [at the club] know why."

He added: "It's nothing to do with Andres Iniesta [winning UEFA's Best Player in Europe award]. I won't talk about this any more and I will concentrate on Portugal for now. There are more important things [than this]."

"The people at the club know about this. I cannot say any more."

Real fans will be looking on anxiously for Ronaldo to resolve this latest issue with the club. The Portuguese has been in ruthless form since joining Madrid with an incredible 150 goals in just 149 appearances for Los Merengues.

He also played a vital role for manager Jose Mourinho last season as Real were crowned La Liga champions.

Ronaldo's latest comments will almost certainly trigger frenzied speculation on his future at the club by the media.
