Ledley slams Ronaldo after Wales Euro 2016 exit

The Crystal Palace man believes Portugal's captain does not have the same impact on matches as Real Madrid club-mate Gareth Bale

Wales midfielder Joe Ledley has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo despite him playing a major role in Portugal's semi-final victory on Wednesday.

Real Madrid forward Ronaldo scored one and created the second goal for Nani as Chris Coleman's side's fairytale run in France came to an end in Lyon.

But Ledley feels Ronaldo did not offer as much in the game as club-mate Gareth Bale and hinted the former Manchester United man was fortunate to have played such a crucial role in his side's win.
