Real Madrid boss Mourinho demands more protection for Ronaldo

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has hit out at the lack of protection for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mourinho is fed-up with the way Ronaldo is being treated by match officials and opposition defenders.

"It's wrong that in the Spanish Liga we are not seeing the player protected in games. It has happened in every match we have played."
