Ronaldo, who has scored 287 goals in 275 appearances for Real Madrid said he always wants to win and keeps fighting for it.

“I don’t think about it much, although maybe subconsciously, my motivation is myself, I fight against myself to overcome myself,” Ronaldo said.

“I always want to win, to be the best and you have to fight.”
