"Those who are ambitious must always believe they are the favourites to win" Cristiano Ronaldo press conference

Cristiano Ronaldo talked to the media two days before his first match against Barcelona as a Real Madrid player.

How many goals would you like to score on Sunday?
Ten, twenty... I don't know if it will be possible though.

Is the match similar to a Manchester United-Liverpool clash?
Classic encounters are similar in every country because fans love them. They are always special. People have the same passion for them.

How will you prepare for the match?
I always do the same regardless of the opponent. It will be a special encounter because we'll have the chance of distancing ourselves further from them on the table. It will be difficult, but we'll try to win.

Your team went through some dire straits while you were injured...
You can't win anything without experiencing difficulties. You have to work hard in life in order to achieve something and that is just what we are doing. Our style isn't brilliant, but we are earning the results we want. We are leaders in La Liga and in the Champions League. We will improve. We must be humble and realise we can always do better.

Do you feel like you've got unfinished business with Barcelona for losing against them in the Champions League final?
I've only got unfinished business regarding bills from the water and electric companies... Barcelona play well, but what happened then is now in the past. I'm at a new club now and we have a winning mentality.

Doesn't a winner like yourself ever think about the past?
It happened a long time ago. I have to think about the present and the future. The past is useful to learrn from, but we must always look ahead. We will try to do our best and win. I have no unfinished business with Barcelona.

Is the squad determined to show the world you can play better than Barcelona?
This isn't a Champions League final. It is a regular game worth three points against a good opponent. What if we win on Sunday and lose our next clash? Victory would be pointless then. We have to be regular. It will be hard, I know, and we will face a strong opponent too.

Do you connect well with Benzema?
Very well, but I don't know if I'm going to play yet. I connect well with everyone; Raul, Benzema, Higuain...

The crowd slightly whistled and booed at the team on Wednesday...
It had nothing to do with our performance. We were winning. I'm sure we'll improve.

Whom would you rather sign from Barcelona, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi...
None, but they are all very good.
