Amid Real Madrid exit rumours, Ronaldo skips questions following Portugal victory

The Man of the Match was in no mood to answer journalists' questions following his side's Confederations Cup win over Russia

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo skipped questions at the obligatory post-match news conference after he was voted man of the match following Portugal's 1-0 Confederations Cup win over Russia, going with a brief statement of his own instead.

The 32-year-old netted the only goal of the game to help the European champions to victory in Moscow, beating goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev from close range early on.

As man of the match, he was due to appear in front of the press, but Ronaldo was in no mood to take any questions amid ongoing uncertainty about his future at Madrid and stuck to a few prepared words on Portugal's win.
