Marseille defender Souleymane Diawara said he was upset about injuring Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo but insisted his challenge was legitimate.

The incident resulted in a penalty for Real in the Champions League match two weeks ago, Diawara was sent off and Ronaldo suffered a sprained ankle.

"I am sad and it is something that has been torturing me as it was never my intention to hurt him," Diawara told Spain's As newspaper.

"The tackle at the Bernabeu was not necessarily a penalty. I took the ball first and the footage shows that," he added.

Ronaldo recovered to start Portugal's World Cup qualifier against Hungary but aggravated the injury and limped off.

Real have said Ronaldo will be sidelined out for up to four weeks.

  9. getachew44 - just look at the tackle that injured­ ronaldo in the 1st place he should never of gone on­ international duty cause it was only gonna make his­ injury worse which it has and now hes out for about 3-4­ weeks

    From ricardotorres773, on Wed 14 Oct 5:03AM

  10. I'm starting to have doubts about ronaldo scoring­ goals. He gets injured fast, and if he continues to get­ injured like this, than he will not score any goals. We­ should start calling ronaldo the glass man, because he­ is injury prone.

    From getachew44, on Wed 14 Oct 12:51AM

  11. awww... diddums. Ronaldo got injured playing in Spain­ too.
    It would be really good to see Diaware play in the­ UK

YOU­ CONTINUE LIVING IN THE PAST AND TALK ABOUT THINGS­ HAPPENED YEARS EVEN DECADES AGO!!! and why should barca­ be scared? as far as i know ronaldo played 3 matches­ against us so far and did NOTHING!

  13. Dale A, then you are a big loser, sucker... I am so­ sorry for you, that you born with a fractured mind, but­ I think you no it as well, that there is no greater­ team than REAL MADRID, and if you have some sense for­ soccer, then you must see, and know, that Real is­ terribly the best team on the world (if they play well­ motivated)

    From Dave, on Tue 13 Oct 2:33PM

  14. Barca are scared??...ha ha ha! Oh boy, you guys are­ funny..you wish, I hope he recovers in time so we can­ watch a classic match..and I'm an Arsenal fan­ first, Barca second..Red & White is the color +­ More than a club!

    From Dale, on Tue 13 Oct 1:38PM

  15. Right, getachew!!!
    it is either the jealously or the­ FEAR!!
    but man, if that guy will come back, you will­ wish he never did!!! (you wish it anyway)
    but a stupid,­ a.s.s.hole, bad character person only can be a BARCA or­ UNITED fan, who wishes injury in such sadomasochism and­ bad will...die man

    From Dave, on Tue 13 Oct 1:12PM

    Why are you mad at your self. You did nothing wrong.­ You should have broken his legs, becasue ronaldo is a­ diving diva, and so many people had got undeserved­ penalties, cards and fals for ronaldo's dives, so­ you should have broken his legs, so the fall should­ have been deserved.
