This is a footballer who has won the Ballon d’Or four times and guided their club to two La Ligas, two Copa del Reys and two Champions Leagues.

Speaking on La Sexta show ‘Jugones’, Ronaldo hit back: “I have a lot of patience, but I don’t like it. I can not say it’s normal, I do not like it.”
“Being criticised in my stadium isn’t normal and when I give one hundred percent and things do not come out, they are whistling.

“I need the extra support from outside and sometimes we do not have it.

“In Manchester it never happened to me, as the mentality is different. I am delighted in Spain but I have Manchester in my memory [as well].
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final, Ronaldo added that he and his teammates are taking nothing for granted.
