Ronaldo in Real difficulty

Real Madrid’s troubled superstar Ronaldo had admitted that this is his toughest time in football to date. He was involved recently in a flare up with Madrid fans, who he claims racially abused him and his mother. Then he had a banner unfurled with insults on by Inter fans.

Add this to the fact that he seams to have forgotten where the back of the net is and you have one troubled footballer.

Troubled, yet defiant. He is convinced he can put this behind him and return to form.

"I am in a very difficult phase at my club because the goals are not coming," he told the Brazilian press.

"I have faith in my ability and in scoring again, but it is true that the fans want goals and I am not providing them."

"Anyway, it is difficult to remain calm when they insult your mother and make racist insults.”

"Racism is an unpleasant matter, but it only involves a few ignorant people."
