Gonzalo Higuain has played down any bad feeling between Real Madrid teammates Xabi Alonso and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair appeared to begin arguing over who would take the penalty for the final goal in Real's 6-2 demolition of Villarreal, with Ronaldo, who won the spot-kick, not celebrating with his team-mates after Alonso's conversion.
Higuain however was quick to dampen any rumours of a fall-out between Alonso and Ronaldo, who were previously bitter rivals at Liverpool and Manchester United respectively.
"These are circumstances of the game, Xabi had the vision of scoring his first goal for Madrid and nothing more," he said.
"Kaka takes them very often, has not missed any, and so do Cristiano, Raul and Xabi did very did very well."
