Cristiano Ronaldo has told Portuguese television, RTP that Barcelona did not deserve to win the semi-final Champions League game versus Chelsea.

“I have the experience already to endure all the pressure. It is always bad to lose, whether against Chelsea or Barcelona, who had some luck, as they did not deserve to win the semi-final against Chelsea.”

Cristiano Ronaldo did go on to say that Barcelona should be credited with the win.  He also said that everything was wrong for Manchester United during the final.

When asked about the rivalry between Messi and himself, Cristiano replied that he was neither pressured nor disturbed.

The media will undoubtedly continue to draw conclusions of whom is the best footballer in the world, but it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo has matured much since last year’s rumor fiasco which began after a comment that he gave to the Spanish media, and is being a little smarter of what he says.  We say:  Good On Him.

Lastly,  there is no doubt that Barcelona deserved to win the final.  They were a superior team to United.

Barcelona has won the European Cup three times, but it is the first time that they have won the treble.  It is the first time that any Spanish team has won the treble.

The football world has been continuously comparing Manchester United’s superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo with Barcelona’s own superstar, Lionel Messi.

There has been a hardy debate by many football blogs on the internet and fans of either player as to whom is the best, but Portuguese football legend, Eusebio believes that comparing these two players is wrong.  Eusebio went on to say that the media only wants something to talk about and that is why they continue debating who is in fact the best footballer in the world.

“You cannot compare them,” Eusebio is reported to have told the press. “They have completely different styles.

“It was the same for me and Pele. It’s more something for the press to talk about.

Eusebio is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and believes that Manchester United will win today’s Champions League final in Rome.

“They both have great chances to win. They have had great seasons, but I favour Manchester United.”

Cristiano May Stay

The rumor mill  regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s possible move to Real Madrid has once again started.

Last summer’s football news consistently revolved around Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid,so it is only natural that talk would once more arise with the closing of the football year.

Manchester United fans may be relieved to know that Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that he will stay at Old Trafford.  His hit came via an interview he was giving to a Spanish radio station, Atena 3.

Florentino Perez  is campaigning to become Real Madrid club president and has vowed to build a dream team.  This dream team would undoubtedly include Cristiano Ronaldo.

“At the moment I am only thinking about the Champions League final independently of what will happen to me or my team-mates next season,” he said.

“I am sure Perez would create an incredible team at Madrid but at the moment I am at United and I don’t care about what happens there.

“I only care about what will happen next season at Manchester United.”

Cristiano has also stated that he is completely focused on next week’s CL final game versus Barcelona.

“It will be very difficult to do it again, because Barcelona have a good team, great players and a great coach,” he said

“The two teams are very good, they play very well and they have dream squads.”

“It’s a battle of teams,” he said.

“Without my team I won’t win and neither will Messi without his team-mates.

“It’s clear that we are the two best teams in Europe. It will be the match every fan dreamed about.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent goal versus Portuguese Champions, Porto FC has been named goal of the year for the Manchester United Football Club at their gala awards party.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored that goal at the six minute mark of  the second leg  versus Porto.  The goal was a stunner which flew by the helpless goalkeeper and into the back of the net.  It was one of Cristiano Ronalo’s most memorable goals, and he has scored a few.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal versus Porto was the only goal in the game and it put the Reds through to the semi-finals where they faced EPL rivals Arsenal, whom they also beat.  The win versus Arsenal put Manchester United through to the finals in Rome.  They face Spanish Champs Barcelona.

The two teams met last year in the semi-finals.  Manchester United won that encounter, but will they win it again this year?  Cristiano Ronaldo thinks they can.
