Ronaldo is focused on that goal, given the vast distance between Real and Barcelona in La Liga.

“The first gift I would ask for is the Decima [10th European Cup], something very special for Real Madrid after so many years without winning it and, of course, it would be also for me,” said Ronaldo.

“The Champions League is the most for a player and to win it excites me a lot this year. I’ve been playing for 10 years as a professional and I am proud of what I have accomplished.

“I have many challenges ahead. The Champions League and Copa del Rey with Madrid, because we know the League is very complicated.”
