A video posted allegedly shows Ronaldo saying "fodase" after receiving slight jeers from Los Blancos fans following a missed chance. Sport indicates the Portuguese expression "roughly translates as 'f--k off.'"
While Ronaldo's response to the crowd remains inconclusive, there's no doubt the sarcastic look he gives before mouthing something underlines his recent frustration. The former Manchester United man appeared irritated during the match, best highlighted after Gareth Bale tucked away a rebound from his shot
Prior to the match, Ronaldo vowed not to speak to the press for the rest of the season, as reported by Sky Sports. This came after Madrid were booed off the pitch following the Champions League round-of-16 second-leg defeat to Schalke. Despite Madrid progressing 5-4 on aggregate, with Ronaldo netting three times across both ties, the jeers rang loud.
It's worth noting coverage in Spain is becoming heated as we build toward Sunday's crucial Clasico. Madrid trail Barcelona by one point heading into the Camp Nou fixture which could decide this year's La Liga champions.
"The week of the Clasico usually brings an increase in 'morbo'—referring to the animosity between the two camps—and there were indications of attempts to destabilise the opposite camp in the media,"
