Suspended Real Madrid boss José Mourinho did not react well to the third goal for his team against Athletic Bilbao because it was defender Sergio Ramos who stepped up.
Ángel di María won a penalty in the 57th minute after being sent flying by Markel Susaeta and Ramos, who somewhat surprisingly stepped up to take the kick, fired his shot into the top corner.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who is Real's regular penalty-taker, said afterwards: "Sergio told me to leave it to him and I'm not going to argue with him over a penalty.
"He's my team-mate and a great friend. The goal will help Sergio gain more confidence."
Ramos said of the incident in AS: "On the pitch everyone was surprised. There's usually an order, but I was confident and had a thorn in my side because I hadn't scored and normally I have a decent goal average.
"I hope this is the start of a good run."

Television cameras then captured the visibly angry Mourinho, who was serving his second match ban in the stands, saying: "Why? Why has he taken it?"
