Before I get on my high horse about this player I must say that for us he was one of the best players to ever wear a red shirt, his efforts especially between '07 - '09 helped us to be one of the best teams in Europe bar none......but, having just watched the Real Madrid v Barca game he came over as the most self centered/ Conceited players that I have seen, For example, there was one occasion where a Real Madrid attack ended with him him screaming for the ball, the ball didn't arrive, he fell to the floor, walked very lazily back, in the meantime Real started another attack, yet couldn't play the ball forward as he was slowing moping his way backwards....don't get me wrong, there are very few players alive who have his pace, skill, bottle and adventurism when going forward, it just seemed to me (having watched a few of the RM games recently) that he only thought of himself as opposed to the team. Yes some of today's players are very selfish and money motivated, however even the likes of Rooney have the teams interest at heart.

Stretty, what's taken you so long to come round? What you describe is Ronaldo's par for the course since he's been at Madrid.
He'd actually shown some improvement so far this season, but his old self came creeping back just when we could have benefitted most from a more selfless performance.
The incident you mention (which, incidentally, I don't think was a foul) is typical CR. Worse still though is that we should've been 2-0 up with that chance he blasted wide when all he had to do was play a simple lay-off to set up Di María for an open goal. Had he chosen the simple, selfless option, we would probably be talking about a completely different result.
