NEW DELHI: Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> has always thrived under pressure, and his love for the big stage was evident when he spoke about playing at FC Barcelona\u2019s legendary Camp Nou.
\u201cI loved playing in the Camp Nou,\u201d Ronaldo<\/a> told El Chiringuito TV. \u201cThey booed me, they insulted me, and I loved it!\u201d
Ronaldo’s battles against Barcelona remain some of the most iconic moments in football history.

During his time at Real Madrid, he clashed with Bar\u00e7a in numerous heated encounters, often facing jeers from the passionate Catalan crowd.
Yet, those insults only seemed to fuel his fire, making his performances even more electrifying.
Whether scoring in El Cl\u00e1sico or silencing the crowd with his trademark celebrations, Ronaldo always embraced the challenge of playing in enemy territory.<\/p>\n

Even at 39, Ronaldo continues to dominate. On Monday, he led Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr to a 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 added another with a precise header 12 minutes from time. Al-Nassr had already secured a spot in the round of 16 before this match, but Ronaldo\u2019s hunger for goals remains undiminished.
New signing Jhon Duran, recently acquired from Aston Villa, made his debut, while midfielder Ali Al-Hassan opened the scoring for Al-Nassr in the 25th minute. Mohammed Al-Fatil sealed the emphatic win with a fourth goal.
Elsewhere, fellow Saudi side Al-Ahli topped their group with a 3-1 win over Al-Sadd. The match saw a stunning bicycle kick equaliser from Roberto Firmino and a decisive goal from Riyad Mahrez.<\/div>\n
