Ronaldo caught on camera mocking Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo was caught on camera appearing to mock his rival Lionel Messi before Real Madrid's 7-1 victory over Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.
In the clip, which takes place in the Bernabeu tunnel before the league fixture, Ronaldo appears to ridicule Messi after a young mascot attempted to strike up a conversation with the 32-year-old.
The youngster said: "For me, you are the best player in the world and Messi..." before being interrupted by the Portugal forward who cheekily finished off the sentence with "is bad".
The other Madrid players in the tunnel at the time responded with a chuckle.
Ronaldo would go on to score a brace as 'Los Blancos' crushed Deportivo 7-1 to put behind them a disappointing first-half of the season.
However, Messi would silence his critic by netting twice himself in Barcelona's comfortable 5-0 victory over Real Betis to take him to 25 goals in all competitions so far, compared to Ronaldo's 18.
The two giants of football will have to wait until May to face one another again in the next 'El Clasico'.
