Is it Ronaldo or is the Hulk? CR9 was back in action for the first time at home for Real Madrid in 2 months on Saturday and boy did he make his mark. After scoring once, Crissy managed to draw a penalty, which he promptly missed.

Though you might not know it, the Hulk impression was part of his celebrations for the one that did hit the back of the net, but the display earned him a yellow card for removing his shirt. A second yellow for kicking at opponent Juanma Ortiz of Almeria got him sent off in the dying minutes of the game, ensuring he will once again be missing a match next week against Valencia.

Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini tried to sound as patient as possible with his temperamental midfielder during the post match press conference. "It's a shame that he saw a yellow card for taking his shirt off; he should've avoided that. His double booking was fair because he took his shirt off and because he was involved in a series of fouls.”

There was also talk after the match about Ronaldo’s perceived indifference to team mate Karim Benzuma’s goal in the 83^rd minute that allowed Real to salvage a 3-2 win. Ronaldo himself had an explanation for that one, telling the press, "I was sad after missing the penalty and that's why I didn't celebrate the goal that followed. I am a perfectionist but I'm glad Karim scored”.

Ronalso may want to start keeping his clothes on and his temper in check though, as although his new side are second in La Liga they trail arch rivals Barcelona by 5 points, so the team really cannot afford for the world’s most expensive soccer player to miss any more matches if they are to catch up.
