Now Cristiano Ronaldo blames Gonzalo Higuain’s ineffectiveness and selfishness during the match.

After the Portuguese superstar opened the score sheet in the early stages of the match, Argentine international Gonzalo Higuain had two glorious opportunities to increase Real Madrid’s lead before the half time whistle was up.

Somehow, the striker horrifically wasted his chances, leaving Los Blancos with more job to do under pressure and anxiety.

What Cristiano Ronaldo is presently mad about especially is the fact that Gonzalo Higuain didn’t pass the ball when he should have done it.

Ronaldo singled out two separate chances, which came at the 27th and at the 58th minute, as moments where Gonzalo Higuain should have passed the ball for Cristiano Ronaldo to finish Real Madrid’s move with a goal.

CR9’s anger against Higuain is surely not going to seize just yet. Already, there was a sense of rivalry between these two as Argentina’s Higuain revealed his strong desire to win the Pichichi.

Now Cristiano Ronaldo has slammed the striker for playing with individualism against Lyon.

The reality now is that the entire Real Madrid squad has been affected by a Champions League exit. The team’s spirit is now divided.

32-year-old Amílcar Miguel Dos Santos Fernandes reportedly died in a car accident.

When informed on this breaking news, Cristiano Ronaldo canceled his meeting for the presentation of an isotonic drink advert.

He subsequently traveled straight away to his homeland Madeira and joined the rest of his family.

Speaking over the tragic death of his cousin, Cristiano Ronaldo stated:

“This is one of the saddest moments of my life. I will never forget it.”

However, despite being asked by his beloved mother to remain in Madeira much longer for the funeral of Amílcar Miguel Dos Santos Fernandes , Cristiano Ronaldo decided to fly back to Spain so as to attend Real Madrid’s training session today.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature for Real Madrid against Valladolid as La Liga resumes this weekend. Will we see a performance from the star winger in honor of the late Amílcar Miguel Dos Santos Fernandes ?

However, the team’s failure to multiply their lead or at least keep a clean sheet at the other end of the field cost them an UEFA Champions League exit.

It was Lyon’s young Bosnia player Pjanic who got the last word with a 75th minute equalizer.

Real Madrid eventually suffered their sixth consecutive UEFA Champions League Round of 16 exit.

Now the fact that Florentino Perez splashed a lot of cash last summer on buying superstars as well as the fact that this season’s European final will be staged at the Santiago Bernabeu makes it even more difficult for Real Madrid to bear their terrible fate.

Cristiano Ronaldo put up a great mental and physical show, using his full pace to disturb Lyon’s defenders and create more opportunities for his mates in attack.

But if Gonzalo Higuain was to blame for an underperformance, the bias referee was certainly the main man behind Lyon’s success at the expense of Real Madrid.

When Cristiano Ronaldo went down under a challenge from Cris as he was about to complete Real Madrid’s break away opportunity, it looked like the referee should have sent the defender off for a second bookable offense.

But that was not to be.

In the first half of the game already, Gonzalo Higuain had a genuine appeal for a penalty after he was tackled aggressively by two defenders in the penalty box.

Now as Los Blancos’ defense kept showing signs of nervousness, it was never a doubt that the former French Ligue 1 champions will score a goal.

Pjanic provided his side’s vital boost with a firing shot that Real Madrid’s Casillas couldn’t prevent from hitting the back of the net.

At that point, the Spanish giants had to score two more goals before reaching the Champions League quarter-finals ahead of Lyon.

But the French side’s back line was tight and with the support of skipper Cris – who surely should have been sent off midway through the second half – it looked even stronger.

In a space of 30 seconds, Real Madrid had two clear appeal on penalties but as time was running out and as the referee looked unimpressed, Los Blancos decided to play on instead of gesturing in vain and thus letting Lyon break away.

In the last minutes of normal time, Cristiano Ronaldo popped up with a firing low shot but Hugo Lloris’ hands were ready enough to catch the ball.

Twice, Lyon should have increased their lead through Sydney Govou and Lisandro Lopez but at each occasion, there was a dreadful waste.

The result remained 1-1, meaning that Lyon had beaten Real Madrid 2-1 on aggregate and thus qualified into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, his dream of lifting the European trophy in his first year as a Real Madrid player is dead… dead and truly buried. Clinching La Liga title will now stand as the Spanish giants’ sole focus to found consolation.

Later on, Higuain  got the chance to double Real Madrid’s lead but unfortunately, his shot hit the goal pole. He then failed to get his name on the score sheet at another goal attempt just a couple of minutes later.

At half time, Real Madrid led 1-0 only.

In the econd half, Lyon coach Claude Puel made another strategy by changing the players, and put Kim Kallstrom and Maxime Gonalons on the field… and it worked.

Lyon played more effectively and dangerously, while Real Madrid’s players lost their tempo and confidence as they missed a  number of scoring opportunities.

The dream team had to bury their hopes  when Miralem Pjanic finally scored on the 75 minutes. It was suddenly all square, leaving Real Madrid obliged to net two more goals in the last 15 minutes.

But clearly, it was impossible for Los Blancos to do that. As the time went by with no further goals to be reported, it meant that Real Madrid had to gave up their ambition of winning the Champions League.

On Wednesday night, they will play Lyon again in the second leg of this UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie.

The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu – a ground which will host the final of the competition later in May.

Real Madrid need to overcome their 1-0 first leg deficit at all cost before suffering their sixth consecutive last sixteen exit in Europe.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid fans will have to be behind the entire team and Los Blancos will have to prove Lyon that the Santiago Bernabeu is theirs.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo stated:

“I hope that our fans will be as supportive on Wednesday as they were against Sevilla. We will do our best to win the game.

“We have to prove to Lyon that the Bernabeu is ours.”

He continued stressing the importance of this match:

“Wednesday’s game is a do-or-die affair. We are playing good football and we’ve proven that we are the strongest team in La Liga.

“Lyon are familiar to us. Physically, they are a strong team. But now it will be our turn to play at home.”

If Lyon score a goal, Real Madrid will be obliged to win by a two-goal margin as well.

Thrill and excitement promises to reach their heights on Wednesday night when the Santiago Bernabeu opens itself for the Real Madrid vs Lyon UEFA Champions League clash.

In what was arguably their most thrilling game in La Liga, Real Madrid overcame Sevilla 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The visitors went 2-0 up before Cristiano Ronaldo initiated a dramatic comeback for Real Madrid…

The first half didn’t live up to expectations for the hosts. The Spanish giants looked sloppy at the back and finally got punished in their weakness.

Sevilla took the lead in the 10th minute when Xabi Alonso finished off Diego Capel’s pass for an own goal. Frustration was piling up on the home side as they went into the dressing rooms at half time being behind.

Six minutes after the break, there was even more drama as Sevilla doubled their lead. Ivica Dragutinovic’s ball from a free-kick curved in the air and bounced off the turf, leaving goalkeeper Iker Casillas beaten and stunned.

But in dramatic fashion, Real Madrid gathered all their strength and hope to fight back immediately.

First, Cristiano Ronaldo pulled a goal back for Los Blancos at the hour mark to score his 14th La Liga goal and cut the two-goal deficit to only one.

Cristiano was Real Madrid’s main threat throughout and always looked dangerous by creating chances for his team mates.

Higuain, on the other hand played well but failed to score a goal.

Minutes later, Real Madrid made the most of their opportunities from a corner. Sergio Ramos raised his head higher above the others in the box to knock the ball home. Suddenly, the game was leveled much at the home fans’ relief.

From there, Real Madrid were hunting for the winning goal as they attacked more. But they found it only after late in the game.

Midfielder Van der Vaart tapped the ball into the back of the net from close range in injury time to seal Real Madrid’s formidable 3-2 comeback against Sevilla.

Here are the pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo during the game versus Sevilla :
