Real Madrid has finally officially welcomed the Portuguese ace at the Bernabeu.  The stadium was filled with 80 thousand cheering fans.  Many fans were waving Madeira and Portugal flags which made Cristiano Ronaldo very proud.

Cristiano Ronaldo chose the number 9 Madrid jersey which was also worn by another very famous Ronaldo not that long ago, but Cristiano Ronaldo insists that he is very proud to the wear the same jersey as Madrid ace, Di Stefano.

Before Cristiano Ronaldo answered any questions from the media, he put on the uniform for the first time and walked around the pitch while clapping his hands towards the cheering fans.

Police had to stop a fan from reaching Cristiano Ronaldo, after the fan jumped onto the pitch and ran towards him.

Ronaldo hugged several people while on the pitch, including another Portuguese ace by the name of Eusebio who was present for the ceremony.

Cristiano Ronaldo said during the interview that he believed that Madrid paid a “right price” for him and that he was going to try and proof that fact.

He also had a few chuckles when asked if he believed that he would receive better protection from the La Liga’s referees as opposed to the referees in the Premier League.  Cristiano Ronaldo happily replied that the referees in the Premier League are very nice, but La Liga has unbelievable referees.

Cristiano Ronaldo also publicly thanked all the Manchester United supporters back in England, but says that he believed that they understood his reasons for leaving the club.

All and all, it has been a very hectic couple of days for the World’s most expensive football player.  Cristiano Ronaldo unofficially stated this fact by saying that he plans to sleep as he is extremely tired.

Anyone who knows anything about the young football sensation, knows that he is a highly motivated player and not at all shy to speak his mind.  This candidness has often spurred nasty comments from media, especially in England.  Comments of Cristiano being cocky and arrogant.  Comments of Cristiano being “in it for the money”, and so forth.

When Manchester United won the Champions league last year, the young Portuguese footballer had nothing left to strive for with the club who put him in the forefront of football.  Cristiano Ronaldo needed  a new challenge and Real Madrid will undoubtedly deliver.

Most United fans were aware that Cristiano Ronaldo would not continue at the club for much longer, but didn’t think that he’d leave so soon, especially after Cristiano signed his five year extension with Manchester United, which would keep him playing for the club until 2012.  2012 was not to be however, and  United fans all over the world became aware of this reality when Manchester United announced that they had accepted an offer from Real Madrid to the tune of £80million.

The record breaking transfer has put a new fire under Cristiano Ronaldo’s feet and new goals to achieve.  These goals are lofty, but that is what makes Cristiano Ronaldo the footballer he is.  He does not put limitations on his ability on the football turf and continues to work at becoming better at the wonderful game of football.

Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken to Spanish media for the first time since the transfer was announced, and during this interview has expressed his want to become the best Real Madrid player in history.

“My goal is to become one the best players in the club’s history… or the best,” he told Marca without hesitation during his first interview with the Spanish media.

“When I completed the transfer, I felt relieved. Now I can say that I have fulfilled my dream,” he added.

“Monday will be the greatest moment of my life.”

Real Madrid will officially welcome Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday July 6, in what is expected to be a ceremony that tops all football ceremonies.

We don’t know yet what number Cristiano Ronaldo will take, but it is expected that he will take the number 9 jersey.

In conclusion, We wish Cristiano Ronaldo all the best at his new club, and hope that he indeed achieves the goals that he has set out for himself.

“After we won the European Cup, I thought there is no more I can achieve here,” Ronaldo told the News of the World. “And when you have done all you can, you know it is time for a new challenge. I stayed one more season and it was nice to make it three titles in a row but it was my dream to play for Madrid.

“Of course, I have not gone for the money. It is a new challenge and a great honor to play for Madrid. Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and they pay top wages, so it is nothing to do with money.

“The white shirt is a great honor and one I am looking forward to. It is, I think, every boy’s dream to play for Real. I grew up watching them play with Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and all the other greats and there is something about that white shirt that just attracts you. It was a great dream and, fortunately, one that is coming true.”

“When I won World Player of the Year, it was amazing. For a lot of people, that would be their peak. But I promise that is not my peak. I will get better than that. I believe I am going to improve because I am just 24. If I didn’t want to improve at 24, that would be a loser’s mentality.

“To go down as a Real Madrid great is very hard because they have had so many exceptional players. That has to be my aim, though. To go down as the greatest. It will take lots of work but that is my target. If you go down as the greatest at Madrid it means you are one of the greatest of all time.

“When you play for a club like Manchester United or Real Madrid then there is always pressure but none of the pressure comes from my price tag. That is a figure the businessmen at Madrid and United agreed on and that is nothing to do with football. My pressure comes from giving the fans what they have come to expect at Madrid and from playing for the most famous club in the world.”

Everyone’s talking about Cristiano Ronaldo.  If it’s not about his impending transfer to Real Madrid, it’s about his off the pitch practices.

During Manchester United’s announcement that they have accepted an offer from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo, the man himself escaped to Los Angelas California.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been partying it up with Paris Hilton, and here is some juicy video to prove it.
