Portugal's 'Record' newspaper published an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo in which he is quoted as saying that winning this year's Champions League would be the "icing on the cake".
Everyone at Real Madrid is hoping that 2014 will be the year that the 'Blancos' win their tenth European crown, and the Portuguese player has agreed with statements already issued by Florentino Pérez, Carlo Ancelotti, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos on the club's official website expressing their desire to claim the Champions League.
The magician from Madeira, who came through the youth ranks at Sporting Lisbon, has an extra little bit of motivation: the final will be held at the Stadium of Light, the home of his boyhood club's arch-rival, Benfica.
"Winning the Champions League at the Estádio da Luz would be the icing on the cake", said CR7. "Everyone at Real Madrid wants to win the 'Décima' and it is providing us all with a lot of motivation. We're going to do all we can to try and win it in 2014", he added.
Cristiano Ronaldo also talked about Portugal's qualification for the coming World Cup: "We never thought that we wouldn't make it to the Brazil World Cup".
On the subject of the Ballon d'Or, and the recent statement by Diego Armando Maradona that CR7 "deserves the prize", the Real Madrid player said: "It's an honour that Maradona would say that".
