Ronaldo, who has just completed his £80 million move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, said: 'I regret what I did, but I can't promise that I would not react in the same way again in the same circumstances.'
The incident took place on at around 9pm on Sunday in Lisbon, where the footballer is supposed to be relaxing before being presented as a Real Madrid player in Spain next Monday.
The star claims the girl was with a photographer who had been stalking him, 'standing for days on end in front of my house, eating yogurt and waiting for anything newsworthy to happen.'
He says the photographer and the girl had followed him to his house from the Ritz Hotel.
When he spotted the girl filming him, he leapt out of his £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in a rage and kicked the car.
Ronaldo said: 'This persecution caused my mother to be so disturbed and upset that I had to stop my car to try to convince them to leave us in peace.'
