Albiol plays down Ronaldo-Mourinho incident

Goal :    Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol has played down an incident between Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo in the aftermath of the Blancos’ Copa del Rey win over Valencia in midweek.

Several reports claimed that a heated confrontation had taken place between the Portuguese duo after Tuesday’s match, but Albiol has stressed that it was nothing more than a normal discussion.

“Ronaldo and Mourinho are both winners. They only exchanged their opinions. What happened does in no way affect the rest of the team,” the defender said at a press conference.
