Cristiano Ronaldo is satisfied with his first season at Real Madrid even though it looks destined to end trophyless. The 25-year-old has scored 26 goals in 28 La Liga games since moving to the Bernabéu from Manchester United for a world-record £80m last summer.
Madrid head into this weekend’s final round of fixtures a point behind Barcelona. Manuel Pellegrini’s side must win at Málaga and hope Barça fail to beat Real Valladolid at Camp Nou if they are to pip their rivals to the title.
Regardless of the outcome this weekend, though, Ronaldo is content with how things are progressing in the Spanish capital.
“I really enjoyed the season that I’ve done, but what’s missing is winning a title,” he said. “I’m very happy here in Madrid and my team-mates have helped me a lot, but the team has not won anything. We have to keep fighting and I am confident we will win many titles (in future).”

A pal said: “Daniel wants to completely re-sculpt his body and has taken Ronaldo as his inspiration. He envies his muscle definition and is hoping to get a similar six-pack for himself.”
Cristiano Ronaldo will be paid a staggering £900,000 for three hours’ work in a bid to prove he’s the world’s greatest player.

The event is expected to be played in front of 15,000 fans at the O2 with ITV showing highlights. One more football superstar will complete the line-up. We hope it’s Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo is set to feature at the coolest celeb spot in the capital – Madame Tussauds London. The UK tourist hotspot is celebrating World Cup 2010 with the inclusion of one of football’s most talented and talked about stars.

Ronaldo’s figure will wear a Portugal training kit, donated by the star himself. The Real Madrid winger even took the time attend a sitting with Madame Tussauds sculptors at the Real Madrid training ground back in December where the team took over 300 precise measurements and a catalogue of reference photographs to work with.
The figure will take four months to create and cost a staggering £150,000.
