Internet Desk: After much speculation, Cristiano Ronaldo has attempted to quell rumours surrounding his future by insisting he wants to retire at Real Madrid.
Preparations for the Champions League final on Saturday night are nearing completion, with Los Blancos taking on Atletico Madrid at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan.
There had been fears over Ronaldo’s fitness, but the Portuguese star will start the game, and he insists it will not be his last for the club despite rumours persisting over his future.
“Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City can forget it, I’m retiring at Real Madrid,” he said.
“I have had good and bad moments, four years ago I was not happy but there is no better place to be than here.”
Despite only taking over from Rafa Benitez in January, Zinedine Zidane has made a huge impact and Ronaldo said his presence is one reason behind his commitment.
“I identify with him and want to play for him for many years,” he continued.”He has no experience but has done really well”, he added.
Pressure is on Real to win on Saturday, having lost out on both La Liga and the Copa Del Rey to eternal rivals Barcelona.
