Cristiano Ronaldo has underlined the importance of the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid by saying that it would be a bigger achievement than Barcelona’s double. Speaking to Spanish television show Jugones ahead of the Champions League final, Ronaldo said:
"Winning the Champions is so much more than Barcelona’s double. A Champions League win is a dream come true and I’m telling you then from the heart".
He also spoke about a wide range of issues including on how he felt out on missing the golden boot to Luis Suarez. The Portuguese captain said:
"Obviously I was annoyed at not winning and was close to doing so. However, full credit must go to Luis Suarez who has had an excellent season". He also answered in his inimitable style when he was asked about Pique taunting him in Barcelona’s title parade:
"Even when they win a title they have to remember Cristiano. It’s incredible that I’m talked about in a good or bad light but I have no personal problem with Piqué".
Ronaldo also spoke about his relationship with former manager Jose Mourinho:
"One has to know how to be forgiving. We’ve had our problems, as one does with the wife or the kids, that’s part of life. At the same time I’d have no problem in working with him again".
All other clubs can forget about me because Real Madrid is the best – Ronaldo
The Portuguese forward has had another spectacular season in front of goal, scoring 51 goals in just 47 games, in the process becoming the first player to score in excess of 50 goals for six consecutive seasons. He has a chance to add to his tally come May 28th as Real Madrid lock horns with city rivals Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final at the San Siro in Milan in their pursuit of La Undecima.
Cristiano though has been rumored to have already agreed on a transfer deal with French champions PSG and Manchester City too are said to be interested in the Portuguese’s services.
But the Sporting Lisbon youth product has confirmed his future for Los Blancos saying he is happy under Zinedine Zidane and would like to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu itself.
“Right now, yes, I am happy and I want to stay at this club. I don't see any other club that is better than Real Madrid. If you weigh things up, there is no better club. So all other clubs can forget about me because Real Madrid is the best,” he concluded.
