Cristiano Ronaldo turned on Real Madrid midfield teammates after Atletico stalemate

More of the fallout from Real Madrid's disappointing 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid on Saturday is emerging.

It's been revealed a dressing room inquest was held immediately after the game by Real's senior players.

And Diario Gol says Cristiano Ronaldo made it clear who he blamed for their problems. The Portuguese feels he is giving everything on the pitch, but his teammates aren't playing for him.

Ronaldo took aim at Luka Modric and Isco, accusing them of not giving the ball when he was open. He also had a pop at Marcos Asensio, despite the midfielder only having 15 minutes on the pitch.

Privately, it's suggested Ronaldo believes the main culprit for Real's demise is coach Zinedine Zidane. He blames the Frenchman for pushing out Pepe, Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez over the summer.

Zidane is aware of Ronaldo's opinion after his "we're weaker this season" comments following their Champions League defeat at Tottenham.
