Cristiano Ronaldo: Real Madrid will go for the win in Malaga

Draw enough to secure title

Posted Thursday, May 18, 2017 by Marca.com

Real Madrid put themselves in the best possible position for the final LaLiga match day of the season, with a 4-1 win over ten-man Celta Vigo enough to ensure that just a point will be sufficient to secure the league title against Malaga on Sunday evening - but Cristiano Ronaldo wants all three.

The Portuguese star scored twice and missed one huge chance to net his hat trick at Balaidos, but his side's focus has now already switched to winning on the weekend to land their first LaLiga trophy since 2012.

"We had to go until the end, the game has been very good and we played well, but we know that Malaga are strong at home. We have to go to win," Ronaldo told reporters after the game.

"We go only to win, the objective is always to win, we know that they are good, but we are Real Madrid. We are the best and we want to be champions.

"Real are only thinking of Sunday, and for the Champions League final we will have time to prepare well for it afterwards. I opened the scoring and scored the second, this was important. It isn't normal for me to miss, but I'm human and I can do it."

Ronaldo was complimentary in his praise for both coach Zinedine Zidane and his teammates, as well as the fact that he wishes to keep contributing to the team effort.

"He always wins in the end, and he has done very well in management, plus we have a very good and young squad. I am good, everything will be decided in the final matchdays, and I am doing it well, scoring goals and helping the team," he said.
