Ronaldo trolls Messi as Real beat Barca

BARCELONA, August 15
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a sensational goal and was then sent off for a combination of his provocative celebration and for diving as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 in an explosive Spanish Super Cup first leg on Sunday.
Gerard Pique scored an own goal early in the second half to give Real the lead in the annual curtain raiser between the Liga champions and the King’s Cup holders although Lionel Messi looked to have saved his blushes by scoring a controversial penalty in the 77th minute after Luis Suarez was fouled.
Substitute Ronaldo rattled in a sensational strike from outside the area three minutes later to restore the Liga and European champions’ advantage, earning a booking for removing his shirt and mimicking Messi’s celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu in last April’s Clasico.
Five-match ban
Ronaldo was given a second yellow card moments later for diving to attempt to win a penalty. After he was ordered off, the Portuguese pushed referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea in frustration.
Ronaldo was banned for five matches for the push, the Spanish football federation (RFEF) said on Monday.
RFEF issued Ronaldo with a ^3,005 fine and a four-match suspension in addition to the automatic one-game ban the player was due to serve for his red card.
Neymar shines on PSG debut
Guingamp: Declaring he was “more alive than ever,” Neymar did not disappoint on his debut for Paris Saint-Germain. The world’s most expensive player provided a pulsating evening’s entertainment with one goal and an assist, as PSG overcame strong resistance from Guingamp to win 3-0 in the French league. Neymar was named Man of the Match.
“I’m very happy with the trophy, but the most important (thing) was to win,” Neymar said.
