Real Madrid players mock Cristiano Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or noise

Real Madrid are excellent teammates.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or, crowning him the best player in the world for the second straight year. And, with an international TV audience watching, he thought it best to frighten everyone with a bizarre primal scream.

Which means that when he got back to Madrid and took a team photo with the trophy, the rest of Real Madrid did their duty as good human beings and mocked him for it by making the same noise.

That’s just good teammating.

Of course, the rest of the team’s faces weren’t nearly as good as Ronaldo’s.

That’s the price of being teammates with Ronaldo. You never look quite as good.
