Your support makes all the difference.Cristiano Ronaldo said he doesn't give a "f***" about Fifa as he stormed out of an interview.
The Real Madrid forward took exception to a question about corruption in world football's governing body.
The Portugal international said: "I don't care about FIFA, Qatar, I don't give a f***".
He then got up from his seat, indicating the interview was over, saying "speak about FIFA, come on..." as he left.
Fifa has been beset by corruption scandals and allegations of bribery and are in the process of handing over power from beleaguered president Sepp Blatter to a successor. Current Uefa president Michel Platini is the current favourite to take the role.
