Match report
Athletic Bilbao defender San Jose attacks Real Madrid's Ronaldo
By Frank Henriksen
Athletic Bilbao defender Mikel San Jose has taken a swipe at Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo struck twice in yesterday's victory as he endured plenty of physical attention from Bilbao's defenders.
But former Liverpool junior San Jose rapped: "I think it's the same for me and I think for most of football. If he devoted more time to playing football and not other things, he would just not be the best player, but he would have more respect."
