Ancelotti told Le Parisien that Ronaldo will put his name in the Real record books by breaking Raul’s goals record.

“Messi looks after his body as an athlete should, but what Cristiano does is incredible”. He is however set to break the record upon his return from the worldwide break.
Karim Benzema has scored six goals in his eight appearances for Real Madrid this season, and is now the top scorer in La Liga.
However, he went on to add, “But as I’ve said millions of times before, nobody knows the future”.
Ronaldo has become a record-breaker since joining Real Madrid, becoming the club’s leading goalscorer. “I think he will end his career at Real Madrid where everybody loves him“.
Ancelotti, meanwhile, has backed United flop Angel Di Maria despite the fact the Argentine ace failed to deliver during a miserable 12 months at Old Trafford. Indeed, most Madridistas would say Raul is a much more iconic forward than the current incumbent of the revered No. 7 jersey.
Deco, who played alongside Ronaldo as Portugal finished as runners-up at Euro 2004, believes that the 30-year-old’s determination to continually improve himself is unmatched.

They argue that Ronaldo’s shot against Real Sociedad five years ago, which looped over the wall and into the net after deflecting off of Pepe’s back, belongs to the Portuguese, not his Brazilian teammate. Even with all the money in the world, that quality is one that is enormously challenging to replace.
