Cristiano Ronaldo 'targeted with homophobic abuse by opponent' as Koke allegedly calls him a 'f****t' after Madrid derby
The fall-out from Real Madrid's victory over rivals Atletico in the final derby at the Vicente Calderon intensified on Sunday night after Koke was accused of a homophobic attack on Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to reports in Spain,
Ronaldo was allegedly branded a 'f****t' by Spain international Koke during an altercation after the Real star had settled the game with a sublime hat-trick in a 3-0 win.
Spanish radio station
Cadena Cope revealed the alleged exchange when the pair came to blows in the changing rooms, with
the three-time Ballon d'Or winner responding to Koke's alleged slur by saying, 'A f****t with a lot of money, you b******.'
The Spanish radio station's Juanma Castano claims that a Spanish team-mate of Ronaldo's responded to Koke's initial barb by asking him to repeat what he said, to which the Atletico forward reiterated his homophobic jibe.
Ronaldo is said to have then threatened Koke by saying, 'If we see one another in Madrid, let's see what I'm going to do...' before making reference to Atletico's inability to overcome their bitter rivals in the Champions League by questioning their 'bottle'.
