The Portuguese international is enthused by the Argentine goal scoring machine and stated that he is happy to see him breaking records.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 completed a remarkable week with seven goals from his two competitive matches.
His goalscoring heroics meant http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander allowed the Catalan club to record their fourth consecutive La Liga
victory.
Messi’s exceptional week was welcomed by Real Madrid talisman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, arguably the second best player in the world after the Argentine.
Ahead of Real Madrid’s European fixture with CSKA Moscow, the former Manchester United winger opined that Messi's exploits are good for football, adding that he is happy for him.
However, the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year is unsure of his ability to break Messi's mammoth five-goal record.
"I’m happy for Messi; I’m happy for football."
"I’m not sure if I’m capable of one day scoring five goals [in one game]. I hope I can."
When quizzed whether people’s perspective about him has changed or not, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 stated that it is something out of his hands and that he is not affected by how people view him.
The 27-year-old added that he is the same person who arrived in the Iberian Peninsula three years ago. He commented that he concentrates on his performances with Real Madrid and played down the importance of his goals with respect to the ambitions of the
club.
"I don’t know if I’m more respected here now, but that’s not what matters to me," the 27-year-old explained. "I’m still the same person, with all my defects and virtues."
"I only worry about myself and my team. Goals don’t mean anything to me. To score or not doesn’t mean anything to me."
The prolific Portuguese will have to be at his best as Real Madrid welcome Russian Premier League outfit CSKA Moscow to the Spanish capital. Los Blancos will have to better the Army Men in the home leg with progress to UEFA Champions League quarter-finals
at stake.
