Ronaldo reveals he loved to play at Camp Nou amidst taunts and boos

The match also saw the debut of Jhon Duran, a recent signing from Aston Villa, while midfielder Ali Al-Hassan opened the scoring in the 25th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always been a player who thrives under pressure. His love for the big stage was evident when he spoke about playing at FC Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou.

“I loved playing at the Camp Nou,” Ronaldo told El Chiringuito TV. “They booed me, they insulted me, and I loved it!”

His battles against Barcelona remain some of the most memorable moments in football history. During his time at Real Madrid, he clashed with Barça in countless heated encounters, often facing jeers from the passionate Catalan crowd. Yet, rather than breaking under the pressure, he seemed to draw energy from it, delivering electrifying performances that silenced his critics. From scoring crucial goals in El Clásico to celebrating in front of a stunned crowd, Ronaldo always embraced the challenge of playing in enemy territory.

Even at 39, Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations. On Monday, he led Al-Nassr to a commanding 4-0 victory over Al-Wasl in the AFC Champions League Elite, netting twice to take his season tally to 23 goals. His first goal came from the penalty spot just before halftime, and he doubled his tally with a precise header 12 minutes from time. Al-Nassr had already secured a spot in the round of 16, but Ronaldo’s hunger for goals remains as fierce as ever.

The match also saw the debut of Jhon Duran, a recent signing from Aston Villa, while midfielder Ali Al-Hassan opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Mohammed Al-Fatil sealed the emphatic win with a late fourth goal.

In another standout performance, fellow Saudi club Al-Ahli topped their group with a 3-1 victory over Al-Sadd. The match featured a stunning bicycle-kick equaliser from Roberto Firmino, followed by a decisive goal from Riyad Mahrez.

Ronaldo’s fire still burns bright, proving that even after decades at the top, he remains one of football’s greatest entertainers.
