Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hailed the work ethic of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rodgers is full of admiration for the former Manchester United star.
He said: "For me, it started for Ronaldo when I saw him training the night before the game.
"It was hammering it down with rain and it was freezing cold, but I saw images of him smiling and happy.
"I also saw Cristiano just before the game and he was just stood there on the pitch, just taking all of it in, drinking his water and probably loving being back in England again.
"When he was ready to go to work, he threw the bottle away and he went to work.
"He is an incredible player and a great, great professional."
