The Portuguese has said that his team-mates must
enjoy their Mestalla triumph but has pointed out that there are still
two titles to play for - La Liga and the Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that
Real Madrid fully merited their 2-1 win over
Barcelona, which secured the Copa del Rey for the Santiago Bernabeu side.
The
Ballon d’Or winner was restricted to the stands because of injury but
Carlo Ancelotti’s men secured the crown regardless, with Angel Di Maria
and Gareth Bale scoring either side of Marc Bartra’s equaliser.
“We
deserved to win because we played better and we created more goal
chances, but we still have two titles to fight for,” Ronaldo told
reporters after the game at Mestalla.
“It was a great struggle to
reach the final. We are very happy, we have been great, we have to
enjoy this day and then think about the league.”
Speaking of his
injury situation, the Portuguese seemed upbeat. “I'm much better, I
don't feel pain anymore,” the 29-year-old explained.
Wednesday’s
victory sealed a 19th Copa del Rey title for the capital side, who
currently sit second in La Liga behind Atletico Madrid and who have a
Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich to look forward to.
