Savage Atletico Madrid fans have doubled down on their calls for the club not to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, by unfurling a 'CR7 not welcome' banner at a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.

Atletico beat third-tier Numancia 4-0 at the Estadio Muncipal de El Burgo de Osma, but during the win, dozens of the club's supporters made their opinion on the 37-year-old clear from the stands.

There were rumours linking Ronaldo to the Wanda Metropolitano, but Atletico's core fanbase said the Portuguese star does not fit with the club's ethos.
