CRISTIANO RONALDO fans have been left fuming after Real Madrid “disrespected” the legend after their Champions League win over Liverpool.
The current holders of Europe’s elite competition stormed to a 6-2 aggregate win over Jurgen Klopp’s side last night.
Karim Benzema scored the only goal of the second leg in a 1-0 victory for Real at the Bernabeu.
And Los Blancos reacted to the Frenchman’s performance by tweeting: “Mr Champions League.”
However, supporters of ex-Real star Ronaldo were left far from impressed.
That’s because they believe the Portugal legend is the ultimate Champions League player.
