Ronaldo said, “First of all I have to say thank you to my teammates, especially the national team during the last 2020 years.

“I never thought [I would beat] the record, to score 115 – the record was 109, right? So, six goals ahead. I’m so proud of this special award from FIFA, an organization I respect a lot.

“Of course, I have to say thank you to my family, my wife, and my kids – and soon I will be a father again, so proud. It’s a great achievement.”

The striker added: “I still have the passion for the game. Not just to score goals, but to entertain me because I played football since I was five or five or six years old.

“When I get on the pitch, even in training, I still enjoy it. My motivation is still there, even though I’m gonna be 37 soon.

“I feel good, I feel motivated. I’ve kept working hard since I was 18 years old and I continue. I love the game, I still have that passion and I want to continue.

“People ask me sometimes how many more years I’m going to play and I say, ‘I hope to play four or five more years.

Ronaldo continued, “What I can say and something I can say we are in control, we can do it better, all of us. Manchester belongs in important things, we have to change that.

“I don’t want to be here in a club to fight to be in sixth or seventh or fifth place, I’m here to try to win, to compete. I think we compete but we are not yet at our best level.

“[There is a] long way to improve and I believe if we change our mind, we can achieve big things.”
