José María Gutiérrez was always a players with a temperment. Now that same temperment has him on the outside looking in with Madrid coach Juande Ramos. This rivalry has become part of the subplots in the Madrid media as the team now sees the weeks pass by and their six-point deficit on Barcelona not budge.

Guti was observed by Spanish network El Cuarto while he was on the bench during Madrid’s 1-0 over Málaga on Saturday. Guti goes out and starts to warm up in order to come in to the match. Then around the 85th minute, the trainer asks him to warm up and the Spanish international refuses.

Could this be the end of Guti as we know it at Real Madrid if Juande Ramos remains with the club?
