The three-time world footballer of the year was linked with a move away from the Bernabau, but the Portuguese did not disclose his next destination, saying he will deceide after his contract expires in Spain. “After that, we ll see”, said Ronaldo. This does not mean that I didn’t take care of myself but he’s doing it much better.

Ronaldo was speaking at an event to collect his Pichichi trophy, which he won for being last season’s La Liga top scorer with 48.
Ronaldo joined Real in 2009 from Manchester United, a year after winning his first Ballon d Or world player of the year trophy having helped the English giants to the 2008 Champions League crown.
And while Capello managed another Ronaldo – the Brazilian great – during one of his two stints at Madrid, the Italian admits replacing Rafael Benitez, who was sacked by the club after just six months in January, and coaching the Portugal worldwide was never on the cards, with Zinedine Zidane instead appointed. “It’s a privilege to play here, and I want to stay on for a few more years, until my contract runs out, and then we’ll see about the future”.

“I dedicate this award to the team, to the coaches, the staff and everyone at Madrid”, added Ronaldo, who became Real’s all-time record goalscorer earlier in the campaign. “We will give it our best on the pitch and we will try to win Champions League”.
