Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has praised the attitude of Liverpool fans.

Los Blancos supporters are known for being very difficult to please and regularly show their disproval by booing their players.

Speaking to Onda Cero, Perez said: "Cristiano once said: 'Why do they whistle?'. We can't whistle. The players belong to us, there has to be a complicity with them.

"They're great professionals and they don't deserve it. I can't side with that part of the fan-base that boos it's own players.

"People were applauding at Anfield when we beat them 0-3. I envy that kind of atmosphere and that which we have the best.

"There are journalists who only go to Madrid in the satisfaction of seeing us lose.

"I ask some of our fans not to give us lessons in Real Madrid , not to tell us who we have to sign or who we shouldn't."
