Real Madrid defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, praised the Portuguese captain after their victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 was on song as Real Madrid were able to beat their local city rivals, Atletico Madrid, on Wednesday.
The Spanish giants won the fixture 1-4 while being away from home, and it was Cristiano Ronaldo who scored a hat-trick to help Madrid stretch the lead to four points over Barcelona, in La Liga.
After the game, Sergio Ramos came out to praise the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, and labelled him as ‘the best in the world’.
Real Madrid dropped six points in their five La Liga fixtures, allowing Barcelona to catch up on them in the points table.
Earlier this year, Los Blancos were leading the points table with a 10-point gap, but after drawing three fixtures against Malaga, Villarreal and Valencia, they allowed Barcelona to come in touching distance.
While speaking to the press, Sergio Ramos was full of praise for the former Manchester Untied star and said:
"Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. We're lucky to train with him every day and to have him with us," Ramos was quoted as saying by reporters.
"Taking three points was vital after drawing against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863. A team like Real Madrid lives with pressure, but we know how to withstand it and we have to be ready for everything. Each match is a matter of life and death.
"We earned an important victory. Everything turned out well and we're calm. We don't think http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are going to drop many points, but we depend on ourselves and our four-point cushion allows us to keep up the good work."
This season, Real Madrid have shown a lot of improvement under their coach, Jose Mourinho. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss has helped Madrid keep a solid lead over Barcelona for most of the season and Madrid are currently close to claiming the Spanish La Liga
title.
Madrid will be facing Sporting Gijon as their next opponents while Barcelona will be going away from home to face an in-form Levante, as Spanish La Liga kicks off on Saturday.
