Cristiano Ronaldo has downplayed an injury sustained late in Real Madrid's win over Villarreal in La Liga.

The Portugal forward caused a scare when he left Wednesday's game before the final whistle limping with an apparent muscle injury in his right leg.

He walked off the field by himself at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of Real's 3-0 victory, leaving Madrid with 10 men and worrying fans.
