"Real" defender R. Albiol: there was no conflict between J. Mourinho and C. Ronaldo © EuroFootball.com

Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol explained an incident in which a conversation between Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo almost turned into a fight.

The conflict between the two Portuguese arose after the Copa del Rey quarterfinal match against Valencia. Mourinho criticized the team leader for frequently losing the ball.

"Ronaldo and Mourinho are winners. They exchanged opinions after the match, nothing resembling a fight happened. This incident has no impact on the other players of the team," said the Spaniard during a press conference.

It is worth noting that the royal club will face the "bats" team for the second time in a row in the Spanish Primera championship on Sunday.
