Cristiano Ronaldo is blasted by Spanish media for 'DISAPPEARING' in Manchester United's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid as they hail Diego Simeone's side for their 'superb' defensive display

Cristiano Ronaldo was accused of 'disappearing' by Spanish media during Manchester United's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night after an off-colour display from the Portuguese superstar.

Ralf Rangnick's men were dumped out of Europe after a 1-0 second leg home loss at Old Trafford to the LaLiga side, with Renan Lodi's strike enough to take Diego Simeone's outfit to the quarter-finals following a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Ronaldo was unable to have a decisive impact on the game despite his hat-trick heroics against Tottenham on the weekend - becoming the highest goalscorer in history in the process with 807 strikes.
