Real Madrid news: Cristiano Ronaldo fuming over four Bernabeu team-mates
REAL MADRID star Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly questioned why Theo Hernandez, Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente and Borja Mayoral are getting game time at the Bernabeu.
Cristiano Ronaldo shows off skills in Real Madrid training
Ronaldo has more than justified the £80m transfer fee that took him to Spain back in 2009, scoring 422 goals and helping his team win 14 trophies.
And he’s managed to hit those heights while playing alongside a host of top talent that Real splashed out hefty figures for too.
Real abandoned their usual approach to transfer dealing last summer though, with Hernandez their most high-profile signing at £26.6m from Atletico Madrid.
And they’ve paid the price for not strengthening in key areas while letting the likes of Alvaro Morata, James Rodriguez and Pepe head for the exit door.

Real are currently fourth in La Liga, a massive 16 points adrift of arch-rivals and leaders Barcelona.
And Diario Gol say Ronaldo believes four of his team-mates just aren’t up to scratch.
The Spanish outlet say the 32-year-old is unhappy with Hernandez’s presence at Real.
He’s similarly unimpressed by Ceballos, who was signed last summer from Real Betis.

Real will be looking to bounce back from Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo tomorrow night.
They hold a 3-0 aggregate lead going into their second-leg showdown with Copa del Rey opponents Numancia.
