Ronaldo celebrates his 100 European goals
The Real Madrid player spoke about his haul, and his side's incredibly important victory, the day after the match:
Ronaldo: 100 European goals
It's a huge honour to score one hundred goals in Europe. Yesterday was a special day, with a very important victory. I'm so pleased. I want to thank Real Madrid for the chance to have such a brilliant career at the club and to my teammates too. Thanks to the club, my teammates and the fans.
Back to Ronaldo's European roots
When I started scoring in the Champions League I never thought I'd hit this number. For me it's an honour because it's such a hard target to reach. I'm over the moon and so happy. Yesterday, before heading out onto the pitch, I thought it was going to be a tough game, that Bayern would fight hard for it. But when they missed the penalty I was certain we would get into the match and the second half was going to be ours. I scored, but it could have been someone else.
Ronaldo's brace against Bayern Munich
I'd describe yesterday's goals in a very simple way: incredible. They were unique because we were losing and it was tough to turn the match around. We did it again and having scored those two goals I'm so pleased because I helped Real Madrid to win. Hopefully I'll get another brace in the Bernabéu.
We've got a slight advantage and I hope the fans get behind us and help us because it'll be a tough battle. Hopefully Real Madrid can win and we go through. We knew April would be a tough month, decisive, and I think the team look good. The gaffer has managed things really well, with rotations, and we're ready for the final straight.
