Real Madrid star Ronaldo: Hurts to know people hate me...

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has apologised for angry and arrogant comments made last year. Ronaldo admits he regrets dubbing himself "beautiful, young and rich".

He told France Football: "I was wrong to say that people are jealous because I was beautiful, young and rich. But I was angry with myself after a game in which I had not scored: I'm not perfect, I can be wrong and when I do I apologize.

"With age you learn from mistakes. I'm made of flesh and bones like you all: I cry, I laugh, I have my problems like every human.

"And I suffer when I see that some people hate me and insult me."
