On his return to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, the Spanish supporters were in a foul mood as they jeered Ronaldo every time he touched the ball or made a move.
Fans at Atletico Madrid’s home ground aimed harsh taunts towards Spain striker Alvaro Morata as well, who was guilty of missing a number of easy opportunities.
Spain manager Luis Enrique also received a number of harsh words and whistles.
Enrique supported Alvaro Morata after the game and did not care about the reaction the Spain striker received from the crowd.
“I don’t care. He has killed himself tonight trying to press, and he has created a lot of danger. They should stand and applaud when he runs 40 metres, sends the goalkeeper and is unlucky enough to see his shot hit the crossbar. They can whistle me, but I don’t like them doing it to the players,” said Enrique.
