And there you have it.
What a huge whopper.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo thinks some referees allow players to get away with kicking him because he's rich, handsome and a great player - and they're jealous.
Nursing stitches in his right ankle, Ronaldo slammed the performance of Norwegian referee Svein Moen as "shameful" after Real Madrid started their Champions League campaign with a 1-0 away win over Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.
I think it's because I'm rich, handsome and a great player. They envy me - there's no other explanation.
Ronaldo on why referees are jealous.
Ronaldo received a lot of close attention in the Champions League week 1 game and the stitches were needed after a tackle by Jerko Leko drew blood.
Real Madrid's Marcelo was sent off in the 73rd minute when he earned a second yellow card for diving under one of Leko's challenges and Madrid's players were unhappy with several refereeing decisions.
"It is always good to get off to a winning start," said Real's Portuguese star Ronaldo.
"However, I hope we will not have a repeat of this refereeing performance, it was shameful.
"Some referees allow them to give me stick like (the Dinamo players) did today. I think it's because I'm rich, handsome and a great player. They envy me - there's no other explanation.
"We are very happy with the three points we took, but I'm not so satisfied with the refereeing. I hope we never have this referee again."
A second-half goal from Argentinian Angel di Maria was the difference between the sides.
