I'm happy at Madrid but only God knows the future, says Ronaldo

Thegoalmac has learned that Cristiano Ronaldo says he is happy at Real Madrid and aims to win more titles at the Spanish side in 2015, but admits he does not know what the future holds.

Speaking ahead of the Fifa Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday when he is expected to claim the prestigious prize for a third time, the Portuguese was asked if - at the age of almost 30 - he would be tempted to take on one last challenge before the end of his career.

"Nobody knows," he said. "Only God knows the future, but I’m very happy at Real Madrid. I signed a new deal one year ago, but in the future you never know."

In the meantime, the 29-year-old claims he hopes to repeat the success of 2014, when Madrid won the Champions League and also added three more trophies under Carlo Ancelotti.

"The aim in 2015 is try to do what we did in 2014 - to win important titles for the club, maintain the high demands set by the club and make it to the most important dates at the end of the season."

A third Ballon d'Or would see Ronaldo move to within one of Messi's four, while drawing level with three-time winners Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten.

"It's a culmination of a lot of situations," the forward said. "To enter into the list of the best players ever, I am certain I am going to achieve that. This is my eighth year here in Zurich and all three of us want to win.

"It makes me proud and it motivates me - I want to carry on like this."
