Cristiano Ronaldo interview after Barcelona match Champions League

"I wish I had the chance to face a team of 10; it is very difficult to turn a 2-0 score around away from home, but anything can happen in football"

Cristiano Ronaldo did not hide his frustration after the defeat against Barcelona.

"I don't understand. It is very difficult to play in such circumstances. We had a strategy. It was a 0-0 game and Kaka was warming up so we would attack more in the last 20 minutes. We weren't playing well. but we were playing for a 0-0. This has happened in the last four years. Barcelona have power, a lot of power. The same thing happens every year. It happened against Chelsea, Inter Milan... and now against Real Madrid. I don't know how this can be fixed."

"I am a professional footballer and I like to enjoy myself when I play. But these situations suck all the joy out of you. We're sad because it's the same every year. Mourinho is right. Referees know football. I wish I had the chance to face a team of 10. It is very different to face a team of 11 and a team of 10, especially against Barcelona."

"It is very difficult to turn a 2-0 score around away from home, but anything can happen in football. We will fight in Barcelona."

Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed that he never considered a move to Manchester City.

at a press conference in Ireland, during Real Madrid's pre-season preparations, the £80 million man was quizzed in English and Spanish, with each question and answer translated from one language to the other.

However when asked if he had considered a move to Manchester City, he required no translation, and simply and emphatically replied, "Never!"

The Portugese does believe City will be a threat in the Premier League but revealed that they are not his problem any more.

"Manchester [City] are not my problem, they will be a problem for Chelsea for Arsenal for Manchester [United]," he quipped.

"I must focus on fights with Barcelona. It's very important that we focus on what is needed, Madrid have bought expensive players and we have to win the league."

The superstar believes that the players that have been brought in this summer have improved an already good side at Real, which must now justify the money that has been spent.

"Madrid before, were full of good players, but the new players have to show they have been brought in for a reason. We have to win the league," he added.

The 24-year-old believes that the squad most show maturity and make head coach Manuel Pellegrini's job as easy as possible.

"Keeping the squad happy is a hard job for the club, to pick eleven players from all the great players is not easy. But it is a good group and I am happy to be there," he explained.

"My first impression of the players is very good, I'm very happy to be here and be part of the team and I'm very motivated. Any comments about a bad dynamic in Real Madrid are not true.

Finally the world Player of the Year revealed it had been tough to leave Manchester United but that he was looking forward to the challenges ahead of him, concluding, "Both teams are very good and have very good players. I made good friends in Manchester and it wasn't easy to leave, but life is a challenge, I am a challenge man, I think it is good move for me."
