Real Madrid demand Blatter apology
Real Madrid have written to FIFA asking Sepp Blatter to apologise for comments he made about Cristiano Ronaldo in a speech to the Oxford Students Union.
During a discussion in which Blatter said he preferred Lionel Messi, the FIFA president got out of his chair to do an impersonation of Ronaldo.
Blatter also seems to have a dig at the Madrid forward, saying that 'one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other'.
In his press conference ahead of Wednesday's game against Sevilla, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said: 'The president [Florentino Perez] has sent a letter to Fifa asking Blatter to rectify his comments that showed a lack of respect to Cristiano.'
