“Something was released the other day online that said I am the most searched for player on the internet”, said Ronaldo, who made a goalscoring return from a two-month injury layoff in Madrid’s 5-2 win over Osasuna on Saturday. Notably, the 31-year-old was back on the turf after recovering from a knee injury, that kept him out of action since July 2016.
Real Madrid will begin the defence of their Champions League title against Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday night. The Portugal skipper went about mocking Xavi and said competing with Messi was a privilege.
“If I was the president of Real Madrid and I had a player like me, I would renew him for 10 years at least”, added Ronaldo. “Anyone who wants free publicity or media attention talks about me”, Ronaldo was quoted as saying by Marca. What do I care what Xavi says.
“Xavi never won the Ballon d’Or, I have three”, he said, referring to the Federation Internationale de Football Association award for the world player of the year.
“It is a long competition, but I am convinced we will win it this year”.

Ronaldo’s current contract runs out in 2018. “What I really want is to keeping moving forward and to end my career here”. “This is the biggest club in the world and it should have the best players”, said the Portuguese.
