Ronaldo 'angry' when Real Madrid sold Ozil to Arsenal

Cristiano Ronaldo was angry when Real Madrid sold Mesut Ozil to Arsenal in 2013.

With Gareth Bale and Isco on their way to Madrid, the German was offloaded in a deal worth £42.5m.

But Ronaldo was displeased that his main supplier was shipped off.

Upon Ozil leaving, Ronaldo said (viaThe Mirror): "The sale of Ozil is very bad news for me. He was the player who best knew my moves in front of goal. I'm angry about Ozil leaving."

Ozil has since made over 200 appearances for the Gunners.
