Cristiano Ronaldo crunches Gareth Bale at first Real Madrid training session

Now there's a photo to make Florentino Perez wince: his former world record signing going in hard and late on his current world record signing during their first Real Madrid training session together.

During a lightning quick rondo drill (that's "piggy-in-the-middle" to you or I), Cristiano Ronaldo worked himself up into a lather and flew in, studs-up, at the ankles of Gareth Bale - ankles that happen to be worth approximately £42.5 million each these days.



Thankfully it would appear that Bale escaped without sustaining any serious injuries, which is jolly good news as he's supposed to be making his Madrid debut against Villarreal on Saturday evening.

All these Press people making a mountain out of a molehill sha!
The tackle may not be as malicious and serious as it was reported.

Nobody said it was malicious. But the fact is that he did go hard and late on him. Word is that bale had earler nutmegged ronaldo. The whole squad found it funny and laughed at ronaldo who didn't see the funny side of things.

lol. Take it easy pal, you need to loosen up a bit. I personally think it wasn't malicious or premeditated. But it did happen and I think it was just a coincidence. But it's definitely a topic to discuss and make jests and insinuations about. Its a salient headline and you may not be able to just brush it aside like u would want to do. Btw That midget remains the world player of the past 4 years. What other footballer in the world deserves more trolling than him? None comes close. Not even another 120 million pound galactico.
