We should stay grounded – Ronaldo

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo says his side is proud following their 7-0 thrashing of Estonia, but must not get carried away with the victory.

The Real Madrid forward was on hand to score a brace for the national team before he was substituted at half-time, reports ESPN. Portugal did not let up following their star’s exit, however, eventually running out convincing winners.

‘It was a good game. The team did well and we managed to get seven goals. We should be proud. But it’s a friendly game and the fact we won does not say anything. We have to keep our feet on the ground,’ Ronaldo said after the game.

‘It’s always good, of course. We played a good game, the last game. The team is to be congratulated, it has shown that we are good, and that goes for training as well.’

Ronaldo led Los Blancos to the Champions League this term – a win which came at the expense of city rivals Atletico Madrid – and is now looking to add to that haul by leading his country to victory at Euro 2016.

‘The goal was to win something for my club and we got the Champions League. Now I want to make a good European Championship. I hope it goes well,’ said the 31-year-old.

‘I want to help Portugal to achieve its goals. The group stage is important and then we’ll see.’

Ronaldo fired in 51 goals from just 48 appearances for Real this term.
