“Ugly hair” - When Cristiano Ronaldo made feelings clear about hairstyle of Real Madrid midfielder

Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo once trolled former teammate James Rodriguez for his hairstyle. The incident occurred when both were playing for Los Blancos.

James joined the LaLiga champions in the summer of 2014 after exploding into the scenes at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Colombian teamed up with Ronaldo at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning multiple trophies.

They appeared 86 times together for Real Madrid, contributing 18 goals, winning 64 games, and losing just 11. The two of them appeared to share good rapport as well, as was evident from an incident from June 2017.

James shared a picture on Instagram sporting a new haircut with blonde highlights. Cristiano Ronaldo commented via Goal:

“Cabelo feio (ugly hair).”

The comment immediately went viral, with fans of the Colombian hitting back at Ronaldo. Many of them even urged James to leave Real Madrid and join their favored club.

While Manchester United and AC Milan were linked with the player that summer, he ended up joining Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal. Interestingly, Cristiano Ronaldo also left Los Blancos the following year, securing a move to Juventus.

James Rodriguez returned to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2019, before leaving permanently a year later to join Everton. By then, the Colombian had registered 37 goals and 42 assists from 125 games for the LaLiga champions.
