Real Madrid coach Capello blasts 'cheater' Torres

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has branded Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres a 'cheat' after last night's derby finished 1-1.
 
Capello believed Torres continually went down too easily under challenge in a game which saw Real defender Sergio Ramos dismissed.

Capello accused him of theatrics in order to get Ramos sent off when he went to ground after being hit in the face by the defender as the two competed for the ball.

"Torres dived and tried to fool the referee," said the Italian. "It was cheating and I don't like cheats."

But the Spain striker denied he had exaggerated the incident which earned Ramos a second yellow card.

"Capello should talk less and look at the video instead," he told Punto Radio. "There was an elbow and when he sees the incident I'm sure he will recognise that that the sending off was right."

"He was probably just saying that to try and divert attention from his own team's poor play."
