Ronaldo Says He Enjoyed Playing at Camp Nou Even When Fans Booed Him
Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his fondness for playing at FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou, despite the often hostile reception from fans.
In a recent interview with Edu Aguirre, Ronaldo remarked, “I loved playing in the Camp Nou. They booed me, they insulted me, and I loved it!”
Throughout his illustrious career, Ronaldo faced Barcelona numerous times, notably during his tenure with Real Madrid, where he developed a famed rivalry with Lionel Messi.
He also competed against the Catalan giants while playing for Manchester United and Juventus. In total, Ronaldo played at Camp Nou 20 times, scoring 15 of his 20 goals against Barcelona at their home ground.
Reflecting on these encounters, Ronaldo admitted a particular satisfaction in silencing the Camp Nou crowd. He stated, “I liked scoring goals more at the Camp Nou than at the Bernabeu”.
Interestingly, Ronaldo revealed that before his move to Manchester United from Sporting CP, he had the opportunity to join Barcelona. He shared, “There was a phase when I was at Sporting, and I had the chance to play for several clubs, one of which was Barca.
Someone approached me to sign me, but it didn’t happen.” He added, “Maybe they wanted to take me the following year, but Manchester United took me that minute. That’s how fate is.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
