Morientes Furious At Del Bosque

Fernando Morientes could have played his last game for Real Madrid after he swore at Vicente Del Bosque during the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Fernando Morientes could have played his last game for Real Madrid after he swore at Vicente Del Bosque during the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

The Spanish international had been warming up for most of the second half, but when he was called by the coach to get changed with just four minutes of the game remaining his frustration boiled over.

When Del Bosque told him he was going on, Morientes told Del Bosque that he should go instead and chastised him with a number of expletives and refused to go onto the pitch.

Morientes has yet to complete a game for Madrid this season after proposed moves to Tottenham Hotspur and Inter broke down last summer.

The European champions made it clear that the players that scored 18 goals for them last season was surplus to requirements following the purchase of Ronaldo.

Both Morientes and Guti have been pushed out of the side following the arrival of the Brazilian, but Ronaldo's poor form have led many to question Del Bosque's selection policy.

Now, the player's public outburst could well see him fail to gain a place even on the bench again with Javier Portillo waiting in the wings to take his place.
