Cristiano Ronaldo: Juventus superstar wants to return to Madrid ‘soon’
The Juventus star, Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he misses playing for Real Madrid and “hopes to return to Madrid soon” as he received the Marca Leyenda award.
34-year-old Cristiano left Spain for Juventus last summer after 10 years with Real Madrid.
While in Real Madrid Cristiano won four of his five Ballons d’Or and four Champions Leagues as well as two La Liga crowns and two Copa del Rey titles, scoring a whopping 450 goals in just 438 games for the club.
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Ronaldo said;
I felt sorry when I left Real Madrid. I miss both [Manchester and Madrid] but because of life’s circumstances I have lived more years in Madrid, my children and my girl were born here, so I miss Madrid more.
This trophy will be in a very nice place in my museum. Madrid is special, I travel a lot but there are few cities like Madrid. Much of this award is derived from what I did in Madrid. It is a Spanish trophy and leaves me very honoured. Thanks to all those who have helped me to achieve it. It is a pride for me. And I hope to return to Madrid soon.
Ronaldo also opened up on his ambitions as a child, the title that he treasures most and his Champions League hope for the coming season .
I never thought about [reaching this level]. My dream was always [just] to be a professional player.
All titles are important but possibly [the 2016 European Championship] because it is special. It is not the same, when you win something for your country and you know that it is more difficult, it is the most important thing in my career.
I don’t know [if I will win the Champions League this year with Juventus]. We will try, as always. Hopefully Juventus wins.
