French daily L’Equipe's comic section has depicted Cristiano Ronaldo’s now famous comments, uttered following Real Madrid’s defeat at the hands of cross-city rival Atlético on Saturday: “If everyone was at my level, we’d be top”. The Portuguese later tried to clear up any misunderstandings his observations might have caused by stating: “I was referring to injuries. The team have lost a lot of important players through injury. I have the upmost respect for my team-mates and I'd never want to offend them”.
The club’s all-time top goal scorer is shown chastising his team-mates from a top-of-the-range sports car: “Push hard. You guys really are useless”.
