Cristiano Ronaldo insists personal goals will be put to one side as
Real Madrid seek to embellish their incredible European record with
victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday.
Ronaldo, a three-time world player of the year, has never scored a
goal at the San Siro but has the chance to match and surpass his own
record of scoring 17 Champions League goals in a season.
Yet two years after Real defender Sergio Ramos levelled at the death to
inspire a stunning, extra-time comeback and secure a 10th triumph in
Lisbon, the Portuguese superstar insists winning the 11th crown is far
more important than who hits the net at the San Siro.
"It would be nice to equal or even pass the (scoring) record, but I
am not obsessed with that because the most important thing is to win,"
Ronaldo said when asked about adding to his 16-goal tally in the
competition this season.
Victory would see Real Madrid embellish their reputation as the most
successful club in Europe having won the inaugural edition, the
European Champions Clubs' Cup, in 1956 when Argentinian Hector Rial
struck the winner in a 4-3 victory over fallen French giants Stade Reims
in Paris.
