Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone has launched a very surprising dig at Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese’s victory at the last Ballon d’Or awards must have really upset the Argentine as he took a sly dig at Ronaldo shortly after his side defeated Real Betis yesterday.

Speaking to reporters after their 1-0 win, the 46 year-old said, “You still doubt that results are the most important thing? If not, look at who won the Ballon d’Or.”
