Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has been sent the wrong way by Barcelona's Ronaldinho, both off the field and from the penalty spot.

The two rivals met to shoot a television advert recently and the Brazilian told Casillas he usually fired his penalties to the right of the keeper.

When a penalty was awarded to Barca in last Saturday's top-of-the-table game against Real, Casillas thought he had the measure of Ronaldinho - who promptly fired into the opposite corner.

"On Saturday, I did think about diving the other way to the way he had told me, but I thought if he shoots as he said I would look like a fool," Casillas said yesterday. Barca were held to 1-1 draw.
