MADRID - Opposing fans give Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo a hostile reception because he is 'rich, handsome and a great player,' the Portuguese said after Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League win at Dinamo Zagreb.
Ronaldo, the world's most expensive signing, was roundly booed and whistled during the Group D opener in Croatia and was also the target of some robust challenges, one of which drew blood on his right ankle and required several stitches.
