LA LIGARayo     0-0     SevillaAthletic     2-0     ValladolidLevante     3-2     EspanyolBarcelona     1-0     ValenciaMADRID - Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Spanish champions Real Madrid because is unhappy there, according to media reports on Monday.This is the interpretation - by AS, Sport and Mundo Deportivo, among other media outlets - that has been put on his surprising words after scoring twice in Real’s 3-0 trouncing of Granada on Sunday.Ronaldo did not celebrate his goals, and afterwards said: "I do not celebrate my goals when I am sad. I am sad due to a professional issue that the club knows about. That is why I was not celebrating,” Ronaldo said."I am not happy, the people here know why. I am not going to talk more about this, there are more important things.”Ronaldo was substituted after taking a heavy blow to the left knee, but insisted that he would be fit for Portugal’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Azerbaijan.AS, Sport and Mundo Deportivo said Ronaldo told Real president Florentino Perez on Saturday that he wanted to leave the club because Real were not doing enough to help him get the Fifa World Player award, won by Barcelona’s Lionel Messi for the past three years.The reports said that Ronaldo was infuriated by Real left-back Marcelo saying last week that the award should go to Real keeper Iker Casillas.Last week, Ronaldo finished third in the Uefa Best Player in Europe Award for the 2011-2012 season, behind Andres Iniesta and Messi of Barcelona, and looked rather miserable at the award ceremony in Monte Carlo.Ronaldo, 27, joined Real from Manchester United in 2009 for a world record fee of 96 million euros.He scored the winning goal in the 2011 Spanish cup final against Barcelona - Real’s first trophy since 2008 - and guided the whites to the Liga title last season. He has scored 150 goals for Real in 149 appearances in all competitions.
