Cristiano Ronaldo lashed out his his Real Madrid team mates on Saturday after the Spanish side lost 1-0 at home to city foes Atletico, putting them further out of reach of La Liga leaders Barcelona.
"If everyone else was playing at my level maybe we would be top of the table," he raged after the derby.
Real now lags nine points behind Barcelona, who have a game in hand.
Ronaldo excused the sides poor performance.
"We are without Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Pepe. We have a lot of injuries and it is difficult under those circumstances," he whined. Real gaffer Zinedine Zidane had little to say after his first derby, saying, "I am not happy with the performance. I did not expect that today."
