Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his trophy-laden run in Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo won everything during his time at Real Madrid, including four UEFA Champions League titles. The Portuguese recently said that winning La Decima in 2014 was the most important trophy.
Speaking to Livescore's YouTube channel, Ronaldo said (via Madrid Universal):
βAt Madrid, they always think about the Champions League. We felt year after year, the pressure is getting higher and higher every time, but La Decima was the moment we won what we wanted. The most special win.β
He further added:
"La Decima with Real Madrid is a moment that will be engraved in my memory forever, I will never forget. When you sign for Madrid you feel that winning the Champions League is a kind of obsession, everyone there was obsessed with winning the 10th.β
Ronaldo further added that they could have won more Champions League titles if he hadn't left the club in 2018:
βWe won four Champions League titles in five years. Itβsβ¦ wow. But I believe we could have won more.β
