Man Utd's Cristiano Ronaldo wants 50 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United's Portuguese winger, has said he will try to score 50 goals next season after his eye-catching haul this year.
Ronaldo, 23, who last night retained both the fans' and players' player of the year awards at United for the second successive season, has scored 41 goals this season as he has propelled the club to a second successive Premier League title as well as next week's Champions League final in Moscow.
The Portuguese player said: "Fifty? I don't know. I'll try my best.
"I don't look for goals, I look to play well and if the goals are coming, it's good."
Ronaldo admitted that he was not able to express how he felt after winning back-to-back Premier League title: "Sometimes you don't have the words to say what it feels like to be a champion. It's amazing.
"I would have preferred it if it was at Old Trafford because the atmosphere would have been brilliant but we won at the JJB and it's very good to be champions.
"I feel very proud, very happy, everything."
The Portuguese international, in his fifth season at Old Trafford, claimed that the team were worthy winners of a tenth Premier League crown.
He said: "The pressure was high, but we believed in ourselves and we deserved to win the title, definitely.
"This was a team effort and I think we deserved it because we are the best team in the Premier League.
"It is a tough Premier League this season but when the referee finished the game and you can say 'we are champions now' the feeling is great, because we worked for nine months to win this title."
Ronaldo is now switching his attention to next week's Moscow showdown as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to win a second European Cup.
He said: "It's going to be fantastic if we win the Champions League. The feeling is going to be amazing if we win.
"In the final you never know, it is 50-50. I'm very happy and proud to play in the final, this is my first time. I feel very excited, the lads have belief and it is a great opportunity for all of the players. The lads want to win and of course I want to win as well.
"We have a great opportunity. Why not? I'm sure in this game that if you have the opportunity to win, you win."
