Madrid have dropped points to Villarreal and Las Palmas in their last two league matches and the draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, has made it even more frustrating for the eleven time European Champions. Zinedine Zidane's men are without a win in three games now.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave Madrid the lead, but a mistake by Madrid's custodian Keylor Navas led to an equaliser by Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 43rd minute of the game.

The German side were able to get a crucial equaliser before half-time after Real Madrid's 29-year-old goalkeeper decided to punch away a Gonzalo Castro free kick instead of catching it. The ball which was punched away by Navas hit the face of his teammate Raphael Varane, falling to Aubameyang to bundle home from close range.

After the game that Cristiano Ronaldo was found complaining about Keylor Navas’ mistake to Gareth Bale. The Portuguese player was seen imitating the goalkeeper’s error, in a tunnel video released by El Chiringuito.

Ronaldo was spotted telling Bale that Navas should have caught the ball instead of punching it clear.

The former Levante goalkeeper made some good saves in the second half, but the two-time Ballon d'Or winner was unhappy about his teammate’s error. The former Manchester United star himself was criticised by the media and fans for his poor performance in the last two league games and he couldn't hold back his frustration.

Despite giving away a goal, Madrid were able to get back their lead through Raphael Varane in the 68 minute of the game. However, the lead only lasted for 19 minutes after former Chelsea player Andre Schurrle's powerful shot hit the back of the net.

Neither of the teams were able to score a decisive goal and the game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Ronaldo and Bale were then seen laughing and in high spirits after the game, despite the frustrating draw on Tuesday.
