COCKY Cristiano Ronaldo reckons he is booed by fans because he is "rich" and "handsome". The Real Madrid star was given a hostile reception by Dinamo Zagreb supporters in the Champions League last night.
Ronaldo was roundly booed and whistled during the Group D opener in Croatia. And he said: "I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are envious of me.
"I don't have any other explanation."
Ronaldo, 26, was also the target of some tasty challenges, one of which drew blood on his right ankle and required several stitches.
He was unhappy with referee Svein Oddvar Moen and he believes top players are not getting enough protection.
Ronaldo added: "We are very happy with three points we took but I'm not so satisfied with the refereeing. "I hope we never have this referee again. People talk of fair-play, of protecting good players but I never get any of that. I don't understand a thing.
"I'm sad because I hear referees saying they will protect skilful players but while some are untouchable it seems I can be mauled."
