'Ronaldo recreating Messi's shirt celebration! Savage!' – Fans react to Cristiano goal and referee shove
Cristiano Ronaldo's wild 25-minute cameo in Sunday's Clasico will be remembered for some time to come.
The Portuguese superstar came off the bench against Barcelona and scored a fantastic goal in the Spanish Super Cup first leg, which Madrid went on to win 3-1.
Ronaldo sensationally shoves referee
After scoring, Ronaldo removed his shirt in a manner that was more than a little reminiscent of Lionel Messi's celebration after he scored the winner in April's Clasico at the Bernabeu.

Don't really care that Ronaldo put his shirt up. The flex was much better. Messi would never flex he's built like a 10 year old dutch girl.

Ronaldo picked up a yellow card for removing his shirt and two minutes later, he was sent off for a second yellow card after the referee deemed he dived in the box.
The 32-year-old will likely be in hot water for his subsequent shove on the referee, which generated plenty of discussion online.
All in all Ronaldo assaulted an offical and deserves to be further punished, Neymar clapped at a ref and got a three match ban.

I love how Ronaldo just came in, scored a banger of a winner then leaves.
King.

Ronaldo, the only player that can get 2 yellow cards without making a single foul. Levels.
World's best.

Ha. Ronaldo sent off for diving when he didn’t dive, shortly after Luis Suarez won a penalty with an actual dive.

Ronaldo came on, took Pique for a spin, scored a banger, flexed on 100k people, got sent off and pushed the ref.
