Cristiano Ronaldo was in high spirits as he reflected on 2009 and the year to come for the Galacticos.

In an interview with Marca, Cristiano gushed, "Real Madrid will be the best team of 2010. We need to have the drive and motivation to win everything that comes our way.  

"Fans and players dream about winning the Champions League. This year's final is at the Santiago Bernabeu and it's a great opportunity for us.  

"Winning the Champions League [with Manchester United] was the greatest experience of my career and we don't want to let this opportunity slip through our fingers."

Cristiano summarised the interview with a message to fans, pleading patience and not exclusive focus on Champions League success. Ronaldo stated,  "All this club talks about is Champions League, Champions League, Champions League, but we shouldn't because it puts a lot of pressure on the players.  

"It is better to continue doing what we are doing, which is winning games. Good things will happen, but the players don't need any added pressure.  

"Madrid needs to focus on winning the Champions League and La Liga, but it depends on other factors like luck, the draw. But I think we are going to win."
