"Playing for the biggest club in the world is extremely tough. The demands are incredibly high. I’m human too. I don’t want to be booed at home," he admitted,

before addressing the increasingly tense atmosphere "with every mistake."

Asked about his future, the Brazilian sought to ease tensions.

"I have one year left on my contract. I trust the president, he trusts me, and there’s no rush," he asserted, determined to keep fighting for Madrid.
