Drenthe: Booing Real Madrid fans almost brought me to tears

Royston Drenthe admits booing Real Madrid fans almost brought him to tears on Sunday.

Drenthe was barracked by home fans during the 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna and he said: "Yes, it's true. I almost (broke down).

"And this is normal. The Bernabeu is my home and now it seems like I am playing at an away ground."

"It does not hurt me when I'm booed away from the Bernabeu, but at home it hurts a lot. I love this club. I have a Ronaldo shirt of Real Madrid, which was a gift from my father when I was 15 years old."

"I've always been Madrid, while my family was for Barcelona. I am a child of Madrid. When the opportunity arose to sign for this team, I spoke with Mr Mijatovic and told him so directly."

Asked if he would seek a move away, Drenthe added: "No, never. I know this is difficult, but I want to strive for success here."
