May 27, 2009 11:07:23 AM
The Frenchman revealed how the Portuguese does not appreciate how his own team-mates taunt him...
France full-back Patrice Evra has revealed in The Sun that Cristiano Ronaldo is the butt of jibes in the Manchester United changing room due to his extravagant falls, something the Portuguese evidently does not appreciate.
"He can overdo it when he falls," Evra said.
"Even we take the mickey out of him for that. He doesn't like it much. It annoys him.
"It's clear he has his ego but, honestly, he plays for the team. He is cool."
Evra and Ronaldo are currently preparing for the biggest game of their season as the Champions League final versus Barcelona in Rome takes place this evening.
Ronaldo received treatment for an ankle knock yesterday but is expected to be fit for tonight's clash.
