Figo: Don't doubt Ronaldo's commitment to Real Madrid

Real Madrid legend Luis Figo has defended Cristiano Ronaldo after his birthday celebrations.

There's anger among the support that Ronaldo held his 30th birthday just hours after a derby humiliation by Atletico Madrid.

"Anyone who doubts the passion of Cristiano for Real Madrid, and his professionalism, completely ignore his history and his character," Figo said.

Since the party, the hashtag #LaFiestaDeLaDeshonra (The Party of Shame) has been trending on Twitter.
