Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo says he will not speak to the media until the end of the season after the Spanish side were given a major scare before sneaking into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Ronaldo, who scored twice to  become the all-time leading scorer in European competitions on Tuesday night as Real went down 4-3 at the Bernabeu but overcame German side Schalke 5-4 on aggregate.

They have now lost five times in 15 games since the start of 2015, slipping behind Barcelona in the La Liga race, and were booed off by their own fans following the loss to Schalke.

Ronaldo had to be called back by captain Iker Casillas in order to applaud the fans after the final whistle. However the Ballon d’Or holder imposed a ban on press interviews.

"I'm not going to talk,” said the Portuguese captain, as per Sky Sports.

"I won't talk to the press again until the end of the season."
