Cristiano Ronaldo Ballon d'Or 2016
Perfect night: We knew that we had to score three or more goals. It was an intense game, but we had it under control. We were more intense and had more chances on goal. We were the better team.
The fans seem different on Champions League nights. There's always mas vibrancy on Champions League nights. The players feel differently too and that's why it was a perfect night for us.
Through to the semis: “I said that it would be a magical night. The team were in good form and so were the fans.
What did Keylor Navas say to you? We train together and he'l kill me for telling you, but he said that I should take it slowly, not run at full pelt because he knew I'd score.
New goals record in the Champions League: We'll see. Goals come naturally. But obviously I would love to break my record.
Best game: It's not the most important game I've played. Despite the three goals, I've had better games. People know that I always give evrything. The numbers don't lie. I know that when you work hard, the results come. God helps those who work hard. I'm going home to bed now and I feel great.
First comeback in 14 years: Great, it was a perfect night - I said it would a magical one and that's just what happened. And the fans, as they say in Spain were de puta madre (f*cking brilliant) - they helped us and gave us the strength to win a complicated game”.
Atlético or Barça?: It's complicated. Atlético defend better, it's hard to score against them. Right now Barça are one of the best sides in Europe. It's difficult to choose one or the other. Both of them are difficult teams. I'd like Benfica - a Portuguese team.
No limits: All in all, for a poor season, it's not so bad… I'm very happy. This is what we have been working hard for. God helps those who work hard, and now we are one step away; everything is possible. And just look at Man City, which many people didn't expect. Football is full of surprises and anything can happen. I'm happy because we are one step away from going all the way to the final”.
Dressing room photo at Camp Nou: That was really good, the lad's got a great body.
37 hat tricks: It's not bad; I've always tried to help the team. Scoring is in my DNA but the important thing is the team. I thank my team mates and the fans.
