Atletico Madrid chief Enrique Cerezo has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo for ‘not winning five Champions Leagues at all’ and Leonardo Bonucci for diving.
Ronaldo drew the ire of Atleti fans on Wednesday when he repeatedly mocked their club for not having five Champions Leagues like him, while Bonucci was ridiculed for appearing to simulate in Juve’s box.
“It was a great game, despite the result being a bit tight,” Enrique Cerezo told Radio CRC after his club took a 2-0 lead in their last-16 tie with Juve.
“Simeone? I didn’t pay much attention to his gesture. It happened at a moment of great tension. I understand it and don’t condemn it.
“I deem it necessary to affirm that ‘cholismo’ is everything for Atletico Madrid. Another small clarification is: Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t won five Champions Leagues at all, only three; he didn’t really win the other two against Atletico…
“Atletico and Spanish fans have already responded to Cristiano for his gesture. He’s a magnificent player, but he has a particular character.
“Atletico have the dream and enthusiasm of reaching the Final, even though the path is very long. We’ll work hard to achieve this very difficult objective.
“VAR? It depends on which team it’s applied to. Personally I’ve been saying for some time that I don’t like at all, and I’ll continue to say it.
“Godin? He’s an Atletico player and we’ll see what happens at the end of the season. Bonucci? Every player has their own way of playing and for me, Bonucci has a particular one.
“Usually it’s not the defender who throws themselves to the ground but the attack. Yesterday the opposite happened.”
