Felipe Melo believes that to be considered a great player Cristiano Ronaldo should look at Juventus' stars Gianluigi Buffon and Alessandro del Piero and learn to have some humility.
The Brazilian midfielder was not impressed by the Portuguese forward's behaviour after La Vecchia Signora had beaten Los Merengues in the Peace Cup last month.
Instead of congratulating the Juve players, Ronaldo was clearly unhappy and Melo believes that his inability to show any grace means that he needs to learn.
"He should watch players such Buffon and Del Piero and see how they behave," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"After our victory against Real Madrid, Ronaldo behaved like we had won the league."
Melo then reflected on his new team's pre-season preparations and admitted that the 4-1 defeat by Villarreal could be used to work out where any problems with the team are.
"The league had not started when we played Madrid and fortunately nor had it when we lost to Villarreal, which came at the right time."
Looking ahead to the Champions League, Melo cannot see many surprises in store for the latter rounds as he predicted the usual suspects will make it through.
"Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea and Inter will all do well," he added
