No fancy dress or drunken antics here! See Ronaldo, Bale and Co celebrate Real Madrid's Christmas party in style

Africtv Mail Sports....
  • Whereas Christmas party season in the Premier League is guaranteed to give club managers a sleepless night worrying over what the next day's revelations may bring, La Liga's festive get together was celebrated in far more sophisticated fashion.
There were no ludicrous fancy dress outfits, gaggles of wannabe WAGs or drunken players reacquainting themselves with their meals when Real Madrid's players came together bringing good tidings to all men on Monday afternoon.

Just the thought of scheduling a Christmas party for Monday lunchtime would seem alien to most Brits, but the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale congregated for a subdued affair at the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos' finest footballers were joined by stars from the club's basketball team including Marcus Slaughter and Dontaye Draper.
Club ambassador Zinedine Zidane appeared smaller than life alongside living giants Salah Mejri and Ioannis Bourousis - who play for the team that reached basketball's equivalent of the Champions League final last season before losing to Olympiakos.

And, in case anyone decided to step out of line, the club's hierarchy including manager Carlo Ancelotti and president Florentino Perez watched over proceedings like a convention of Godfathers at the head table.
