The Daily Mail claims that the comments are likely to further damage the reputation of Ronaldo amongst his Real Madrid team mates.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo appeared unhappy with his teammates and the media after the loss to city rivals Atletico at the Santiago Bernabeau Stadium here on Saturday night. "The statistics and numbers don't lie".
Atletico were quite content to frustrate the hosts with 10 men behind the ball for long spells, but the visitors ended the first half the stronger and were unfortunate not to be in front when Keylor Navas produced a brilliant save to tip Griezmann's long-range drive over the crossbar.
The final whistle was met by a chorus of discontent from the home fans as they called for president Florentino Perez to resign.
Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Pepe all missed out, while Karim Benzema was forced off with a hip injury late on, and speaking after the game Ronaldo said: "If we were all at my level, maybe we would be leaders". "I do like playing with Karim, Bale and Marcelo, but I am not saying that the others are not good".
"When you don't have your best players, it is hard to win", Ronaldo said.
Defeat to Atletico has left Madrid nine points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, who could stretch that advantage to 12 with a win over Sevilla on Sunday.
"Today is a big blow".
Atletico had the chance to kill the game off 24 minutes from time when they cut through Real's brittle defense once more, but Navas rushed from his goal to block Saul Niguez's attempted chip.
"When I say that I mean the physical level, no game".
"The league is over". It feels like you are after me, " Ronaldo said.
"We are not going to throw the league away though, whatever happens".
"We take it as natural to be able to win here at the Bernabeu", Simeone told reporters. "Danilo, for example, was the best player on the field [on Saturday]".
"We have to focus on our own objective which was to finish in the top three, but everyone wants to finish as high as possible". However, his output in big games has dropped and he is yet to score a goal in games against the top 5 teams in Spain this season and also drew blanks in big European games.
