Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres trade insults at the Estadio Vicente Calderon last night

There was no love lost between Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres on Wednesday night as the rival duo enjoyed a frank exchange of views on the Estadio Vicente Calderon pitch.

With the score at 2-1 to Atletico Madrid and therefore Real Madrid cruising through, a disagreement sparked up between the pair.

“What’s wrong?” asked Torres. “Clown.”

“Go home, idiot,” replied the Real winger.

The referee got between the two players although Ronaldo was clearly left smiling having riled Torres, who launched a final tirade before going his own way.

“Son of a b*tch,” the Spaniard responded.
