Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo were involved in an amusing Twitter exchange on Wednesday following a birthday message sent by the Swede to the Portuguese on the social networking site. The Sweden striker pledged to send the Portuguese one of his personalised jerseys as a birthday present, provoking an amusing riposte from the Real Madrid man. Ronaldo played 90 minutes for Real Madrid in their 3-0 derby win over Atletico in the first leg of the sides' Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday.
It was an eventful birthday for the Madeira-born forward, who turned 29 on Wednesday, as he was also hit with a three-game ban by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) earlier in the day for his red card and subsequent gesture to the officials in Madrid's 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. The 2013 Ballon d'Or winner was also inundated with congratulations from fans on Twitter, but is unlikely to have expected a message from Ibrahimovic.
