Ronaldo is enduring his worst start to a season with Real since his arrival and teammates, particularly the younger contingent, are stunned by his behaviour, says Diario Gol.

"This has nothing to do with the idea of teamwork that we were taught all our lives," said one locker room source.

Even on the pitch, with Ronaldo's constant demands for the ball and obsession with scoring has left teammates unhappy - including those who have been with the club for years.
