Cristiano Ronaldo says he is "sad" at Real Madrid and only people inside the club know why.
The Portugal forward chose not to celebrate his two goals during Madrid's 3-0 win over Granada and said after the match: "I am sad and the club knows it, that's why I didn't celebrate the goals. The people in the club know why."
Ronaldo refused to elaborate on the reasons for his displeasure with the club that spent a record £80m to secure him from Manchester United in 2009.
The 27-year-old denied he was angry that Barcelona's Andrés Iniesta beat him to this year's Uefa Best Player Award on Friday. "Iniesta deserved it," he said.
Ronaldo's comments have sparked rumours of his desire to leave the club and the Portuguese dominated the headlines in Spain on Monday.
"Enough is enough" ran the front page of Marca over a photo of Ronaldo. "CR7 unsettles Madrid and activates the alarm bells after failing to celebrate his goals against Granada."
An El Mundo comment piece was headlined: "Rich, good-looking and sad."
The radio station Cadena Ser and other media outlets reported that Ronaldo had held a meeting with Real's president Florentino Pérez on Saturday where he said he did not feel he had the support of the dressing room, he was unhappy and wanted to leave.
