The Blaugrana's league and cup double has not
sparked envy in the Portuguese superstar, who
says he will top it by winning Europe's premier club
competition
Cristiano Ronaldo claims Real Madrid winning the
Champions League would be a greater achievement
than Barcelona's double this season.
Madrid will face city rivals Atletico at San Siro on
Saturday hoping for a repeat performance of the
sides' 2014 Champions League final meeting, which
Real won 4-1 after extra time.
Barca recovered from a slump of form in April – a
run that began with defeat in the Clasico - to win
their final five games of the season and triumph in
La Liga by a point from Madrid.
Luis Enrique's men went on to win the Copa del
Rey with a 2-1 extra-time win over Sevilla last
Sunday, but Ronaldo believes Real have weightier
ambitions.
He told La Sexta: "Winning the Champions is so
much more than Barcelona's double.
"A Champions League win is a dream come true
and I'm telling you that from the heart."
Ronaldo refused to rise to the bait of Gerard Pique,
who appeared to mock one of the Real Madrid
star's goal celebrations as Barca celebrated their
title win.
"Even when they win a title they have to remember
Cristiano," he said. "It's incredible that I'm talked
about in a good or bad light but I have no personal
problem with Pique."
Ronaldo was also in magnanimous mood when
discussing Luis Suarez pipping him to the 'Pichichi
Trophy' - La Liga's top goalscorer award.
The Portugal international added: "Obviously I was
annoyed at not winning and was close to doing
so. However, full credit must go to Luis Suarez who
has had an excellent season."
