The Portuguese star recalled his time at Real Madrid: "I won many trophies with Madrid, I won everything. It was a pleasure to play for Real Madrid for 9 seasons and win 4 Champions Leagues. I love Real Madrid. When I arrived, I was the most expensive player in history. There was pressure, but I believed in myself. If I won the Ballon d'Or in the Premier League, I knew I would do well because I believed in my talent. It was difficult, it’s a different country, and I was only 24 years old, but it was very positive. I was clear that I would make history. It was a challenge, and I like to prove people wrong."
Furthermore, he revealed what makes Real Madrid strong in the Champions League: "Madrid is the type of team that does not give up under pressure. People say they are lucky in the Champions League, but it’s not luck, it’s brains. They are prepared for those moments. The Bernabeu has a special aura. The energy is different when the big teams score a goal, but the pressure gets the better of them."
Cristiano also talked about the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and whether the signing of the Frenchman will make the Spanish team better: "If you ask if Madrid will be better or not, we don't know. Mbappe is there now, and I think Madrid will continue to be strong, but I don't know if they will be better than last year. Only God knows. They have fantastic players and a great team. I think they will remain one of the best in the world."
He added: "I think Mbappe will do well. The structure of the club is good and solid. They have a great coach. Then there’s the President, Florentino, who has been there for a long time. I don’t think it will be a big problem because of his talent. He has already proven it."
