‘YOUNG BOY’ RONALDO EYES MORE TROPHIES

-

Cardiff, June 4: Cristiano Ronaldo said he had no intention of slowing down after spearheadi­ng a 4-1 victory over Juventus.

Ronaldo, 32, has now scored 600 career goals for club and country, including 105 in the Champions League, and has finished as the top scorer in the competitio­n for the last five seasons.

“I think people don’t have words to criticise, because the numbers don’t lie,” he told reporters after receiving the man-of-thematch award from his former Manchester United mentor Alex Ferguson.

“I’m very happy. It was an amazing season again. We won trophies. It’s one of the best moments in my career. I have the opportunit­y to say that every year. But it’s true.

“This year was amazing again, last year was amazing too. Now I have two or three days off to rest and after we have a (World Cup) qualifying game for Portugal and we have the Confederat­ions Cup.

“It’s a long season, but I’m motivated, I’m happy. I’m in a good moment. My age is just a number. I feel like a young boy.”
