Real Madrid went into the second leg of the champions
league round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Schalke 04.
Surprisingly though; German side, Schalke, came ready
for a fight at the Bernabeu. And they did exactly that as
they beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home with only a goal left
to see them through to the next round.
Ronaldo scored a brace on the night, otherwise Madrid
might have been singing a different song.
In spite of his scoring twice, the Portuguese forward
was obviously frustrated and did not fail to show it
during and after the match.
He was heard telling Benzema during the closing stages
that “this is embarrassing”. The Madrid forward has
been below par for a while now.
“I’m not going to talk,” he said to the press in the
mixed zone. “I won’t talk to the press again until
the end of the season.”
