He was written off in England and responded. He was vilified in England and responded. And with every season in Spain, despite every attempt to undermine him, he gets stronger. These days, if you’re still hating Ronaldo, you’re hating football.

‘In Brazil, the majority of the wives of footballers are very strong women. The problem is that the media transmits an image that doesn’t correspond to reality. There are good women, but the press tends to focus on those who go out more or dress well. That’s not me. I don’t always have perfect hair or an impressive bag and an immaculate appearance. I get up and I’m just a mother. That’s my life: my friends, the conversations with the other mothers at school… those are the people who can really talk about how I am. Look, I’ve been photographed many times in Italy carrying shopping bags, with captions reading that I just went shopping, but in reality what I was carrying was presents for others! The fact that our husbands earn a lot of money does not mean that we’re superficial women. We all have our defects and our virtues, and you can’t generalize.’

After 3 years domination by Barça now we’re on top. Pipa? He was not saying goodbye, he’s very happy here. Ask him. I’m sure. I think Pipa has no doubt on this subject. He’ll stay here next year.
