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.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
