The Spanish giants are demanding the world footy chief says sorry to their player, after he mocked the 28-year-old at a recent event.

During an appearance at Oxford University, Blatter poked fun at Ronaldo's love for his barnet.

The Swiss compared the Portuguese with his Barcelona rival Lionel Messi, suggesting "one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other".

Bernabeu boss Carlo Ancelotti today revealed Real president Florentino Perez has now asked for an apology from Blatter for his barb.

"The president [Florentino Perez] has sent a letter to Fifa asking Blatter to rectify his comments that showed a lack of respect to Cristiano," said the Italian manager.

     

Blatter had been speaking to Oxford Students Union when he made the remarks.

When asked to choose the better player between Ronaldo or Messi, Blatter replied: "They are both exceptional players but are totally different.

"Football is about the difference between stars.

"Lionel Messi is a good boy that every father, every mother would like to have at home.

"He is very fast, he is not exuberant, he plays well, he dances, he is a good boy.

"That is what makes him so popular and naturally he gets a lot of votes, because he is this nice man.

"And he plays well and scores goals."Blatter then stood up to deliver a bizarre impression of Ronaldo, as he compared the former Manchester United ace to a "commander".

He explained: "He is like a commander on the field of play.

"This is the other side of football and it is good to have such commanders on the field also.

"You don't have the same attitude. That gives life to football. One has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other, but that doesn’t matter.

"I cannot say who is the best, there will be a contest again this year."
