Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid team-mates played their final friendly of the pre-season campaign in the Bernabeu last night, emerging as 2-0 winners against Penarol to secure their sixth successive Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu.
In truth, it wasn't Ronaldo's finest night despite the fact he looked dangerous and appeared on both the left and right in support of Gonzalo Higuain.
Wearing Raul's former number seven shirt, CR7 came in for some tough treatment from the Penarol backline and his anger boiled up at the end of the first half.
The world's most expensive player kicked out at a Penarol defender, an act of petulance that could have seen him earn a red in a league game, and then Ronaldo almost came close to blows with Egidio Arevalo after the Uruguayan had (shock horror!) touched his hair.
In the second half Cristiano Ronaldo came closer to scoring as Los Blancos started to look more dangerou culminating in Angel Di Maria's excellent solo goal to put Real Madrid in front.
As for Ronaldo, he was though unable to make a real impression on the game before he was substituted with seven minutes remaining.
