Ronaldo goes ballistic after referee blows whistle MID-SHOT before ball flies into net as his team suffer crucial loss
BRAZIL legend Ronaldo Nazario voiced his anger on Twitter after Real Valladolid had a goal controversially disallowed on Sunday.
Relegation-threatened Valladolid thought they had taken the lead against Sevilla just before half time when Sergio Escudero fired his shot into the bottom-right corner from 30 yards out.
However, referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias refused to let the goal stand – despite the fact that he blew the half-time whistle while the ball was travelling into the back of the net.
Valladolid players and staff were left furious as a result and demanded answers from the officials.
Sevilla went on to win the game 3-0, leaving Valladolid just one point above the LaLiga relegation zone.
Ronaldo – who became majority owner of the club in 2018 – took to Twitter to express his frustration after the game.
He wrote: “INADMISSIBLE what happened today in Zorrilla!
“Until now we had been silent trying to vindicate our dissatisfaction through official means, meetings and petitions, avoiding making a public exposure. But enough already!
“This is professional football and we demand explanations. Mistakes of these dimensions can change an entire season.
“But let one thing be clear: we will fight EVERYTHING and EVERYONE because we are Real Valladolid. Our team, our fans and our city have given everything and no one is going to take it from us.”
