Cristiano Ronaldo says criticism against him is getting worse, and he doesn’t think it’s fair.
Ronaldo made his comments after scoring twice in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday.
“It seems that match after match I have to show who I am,” Ronaldo said. “I’m surprised by the public opinion about me. Again, the numbers speak for themselves.”
Ronaldo also scored twice in Madrid’s Champions League opener this season, a 3-0 win against APOEL. But he was criticized by many after a poor performance in a 1-0 home loss against Real Betis in the Spanish league. The Portuguese missed several chances in that game, including clear opportunities in front of goal.
It was Ronaldo’s 400th game with Los Blancos since his arrival from Manchester United.
The Portuguese superstar has featured in 267 LaLiga, 30 Copa del Rey, 90 Champions League, seven Supercopa de Espana, two European Super Cup and four FIFA Club World Cup games.
Only 22 players have managed to reach the 400-appearances mark throughout the 115-year history of the club and Raul Gonzalez occupies the first spot on the list with 741 games.Having already had scored 409 goals in 399 encounters, Ronaldo is the third foreign player with most games for Real behind Roberto Carlos (527) and Marcelo (416).
