Ronaldo fumes as Benzema scores
Cristiano Ronaldo has earned a reputation for being one of football's most selfish players, a trait needed when in pursuit of scoring as many goals as he has, but this latest piece of Ronaldo petulance might just take the cake.
During Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Getafe, Ronaldo was held up by the defence in the penalty box, freeing up striker Karim Benzema to slot home his second goal of the match.
Rather than celebrate with Benzema and the rest of the team, Ronaldo threw a textbook mini-tantrum at the referee for not awarding him the penalty he believes he deserved....and of course would have taken himself.
Ronaldo. A team player. Disgraceful https://t.co/1E6gWyucUb

In Ronaldo's defence, you don't score 330 goals in 319 matches for Real Madrid without being a little bit self-serving.
Try telling that to the Twittesphere though.
Benzema scored and still Ronaldo was busy claiming a penalty.. 😂😂😂

Even if Madrid is leading by 100 goals, as long as Ronaldo hasn't scored, he is not happy. Childish.
