Real Madrid players have urged Cristiano Ronaldo to learn how to dive! The Portuguese star's excellent start to his career in Spain has been punctuated by some heavy challenges, but what passes for an over-the-top reaction in the Premier League isn't good enough for La Liga and he has been advised to ham it up a little more.

A senior Madrid player, quoted in the newspaper Marca, apparently said to Ronaldo: "Learn from [Barcelona's] Leo Messi and Dani Alves. When they get fouled they go down like they've been shot."
