Ronaldo clarifies comments about Real Madrid team-mates

Antoine Griezmann decided the tie for the visitors and Zidane said after the match that his side can't now catch leaders Barcelona, despite the day before the game insisting it wouldn't be decisive.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the headlines following Real Madrid's defeat to Atletico as he appeared to criticise his team-mates for not being on the same level as him.

"I wasn't expecting this, this is the first defeat at home".

The home side would have been disappointed not to take anything from the game after producing 15 shots at goal to Atleti's nine.

Why? Although Rodriguez enjoyed a strong first year in Madrid, he has never quite lived up to his 24-carat-gold billing, and Zidane has reportedly lost patience after some underwhelming performances this season.

Excel Industries was awarded the Governor's Exporter of the Year award in 2013 from the Kansas Department of Commerce. The shooter didn't target specific people at the plant and instead fired randomly, according to authorities.

"It will be a great derby", Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis said.

Atletico had the chance to kill the game off 24 minutes from time when they cut through Real's brittle defence once more, but Navas rushed from his goal to block Saul Niguez's attempted chip. "We have to be as prepared as ever". He squandered a few good chances on Saturday, though, and last week missed a decisive penalty kick in the 1-1 league result at Malaga.

"Once again the fans of Atletico Madrid can feel immensely proud of their players". The Portuguese forward has netted four in his last three matches where Atleti's top marksman Antoine Griezmann is goalless in six. He said the team will keep fighting in the league, but the focus will be on the Champions League.

"I'm satisfied because I see that we are creating scoring opportunities and that we are attacking", coach Diego Simeone said.

Former Real Madrid player, Guti, made comments during the week that were short of humility.

England's Paul Casey had been eliminated from the playoff on the previous hole. "Tee-to-green was pretty good", McIlroy said. He shot a 2-under 69 and is tied for seventh, four shots behind Kokrak. "I've never played the golf course soft", he added.

Zidane also explained the half-time substitution of Karim Benzema, who had been ineffective in the opening 45 minutes and was replaced by Borja Mayoral.

Benzema is the Madrid giants' only genuine out-and-out striker, and his goal tally for the season now stands at an impressive 23 strikes in 23 starts, per WhoScored.com. "It was already complicated to win the league before this loss, now it's even harder".

"If Neymar, [Luis] Suarez and [Lionel] Messi were always injured Barca would not be where they are".

Sevilla are unbeaten in seven league games.
