Real Madrid’s basketball team paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo before win over Barcelona | OneFootball

The latest endeavours on the part of Real Madrid’s official basketball team have piqued widespread attentions across the football world late tonight.

This comes after Real Madrid Baloncesto made use of an altogether high-profile occasion to showcase their appreciation for one of the game’s greatest-ever players.

Los Blancos marked their return to the court a short time ago.

In the latest edition of El Clásico, Real went head-to-head with arch rivals Barcelona, in the finale of the Copa del Rey.

When all was said and done, it was the former who emerged on the right side of the result, putting up 96 points to the Blaugrana’s 85.

And yet, whilst the capital giants are busy celebrating their latest silverware haul, it is their pre-game warm-ups which have garnered attention amongst football fans.

This comes with Real Madrid, prior to the action getting underway at the Martín Carpena Sports Palace, having paid something of a tribute to an icon in Spain’s capital.

The individual in question? Cristiano Ronaldo.

As showcased below, whilst prepping for the Clásico on Sunday, Chus Mateo’s players came together for a synchronised edition of Ronaldo’s famed ‘Siuuu’ celebration:

Evidently, Real had the luck of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner on their side.
