Just keep quiet - Real Madrid tell UEFA President Michel Platini

UEFA President Michel Platini’s comment that Cristiano Ronaldo does not deserve to win 2014 FIFA Ballon D’Or award, saying that a German deserves it instead has been met with a strong reply from the player’s club coach and management

Platini thinks the award should go to Germany because they won the World Cup but Madrid counter that, and urge the Frenchman to shut up in his "campaign against Ronaldo" and abide by the principle of UEFA Presidency where the  'strictest impartiality should prevail'

First, Madrid players Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Coentrao attacked Platini and then the coach

In the current season, he has won the European Super Cup, scoring both goals in the match, and is achieving spectacular figures such as his 20 goals in the first 12 matchdays of La Liga, which confirm his great moment of form and ensure that, more than ever, "
