Cristiano Ronaldo: "I'm happy with my eight goals but will try to score more"

"We are practically through, it is almost done and we are happy about it", said the Portuguese

Eight goals in four Champions League matches. Cristiano Ronaldo sets the pace for Real Madrid and, despite not having mathematically sealed qualification for the next round, he knows that it is almost a given and is happy about that: "I am happy with my eight goals but will try to score more. We are almost through, we need another point but it is almost done and we are happy".

Ronaldo said the team’s improvement in the second half was the key to coming back from 1-0 down at halftime: "In the first we didn’t play very well, we were very defensive. Then the coach told us we had to attack, we had to use the flanks and that is what we did and it worked. That is when we scored the two goals".

The draw against Juve almost assures passage to the Champions League round of 16: "We are practically through, we need one point, but it is almost done and we are happy". When asked how he feels about his goal scoring record in the group stage, the forward said: "I'm happy with my eight goals. It is very good, but I’ll try to score more".

Cristiano’s hunger has been added to by Gareth Bale’s and according to his teammate he is starting to deliver what was hoped of him: "He is a very important player for us and I think he will help us a lot. Things are going well".
