Gareth Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett has come under fire in the Madrid press after his comments about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Barnett, who famously represented Ashley Cole during the 'tapping-up' scandal, has provoked the ire of those in Spain by referring to Ronaldo as "an underwear seller" and suggesting Bale would be the best footballer in the world when the Portuguese left Real Madrid .
Tomás Roncero, a leading columnist in Spanish sports daily AS , has taken particular exception to Barnett's comments in his piece on Tuesday morning.
"To say anything about Cristiano is inadmissible," said Roncero.
"It demonstrates that Bale has an infantile jealousy towards the Portuguese.

"It's absurd to even compare him to [Ronaldo]. A quarter of Cristiano is better than Bale," Roncero sneered.
It is not the first time Barnett has riled those in Madrid.
Last season he came out to defend criticisms of his client by claiming that his teammates weren't passing to him . He backed it up with statistics, but still caused a row with then-manager Carlo Ancelotti over the Welshman's role.
"It coincided with the disastrous Champions League elimination to Juve, in which Bale was the player that disappointed the most.
"Ancelotti was right to hit back at [Barnett]."
