Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos insists he can handle his critics.

Ramos was on the receiving end of whistles from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu recently after Madrid's poor start to the season.

"If the Bernabeu has a go at you it's because they think you can give much more," he told reporters.

"I have seen great legends whistled.

"If they have whistled me once in 14 years I should be eternally grateful.

"When things go well I don't get carried away and my critics won't drag me down.

"I don't take it personally."
