The Celeste have changed their image under genius coach Oscar Tabarez but they still boast a few players with the ability to provoke opponents
On August 24, 2010, Real Madrid hosted Penarol in the Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu. It was, ostensibly, a friendly – but Marcelo 'Pato' Sosa didn't 'friendly'.
When asked before the game how he intended to stop Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Uruguay international revealed that he would first take the Real forward out with a tackle and then "ruffle his hair to annoy him."
He wasn’t joking, either. Sosa levelled Ronaldo inside six minutes.
