Real Madrid ace Ronaldo proud to score first goal at Anfield

Cristiano Ronaldo was enormously proud to score his very first goal at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Portuguese star netted with a sublime half-volley in the 23rd minute of Real Madrid's 3-0 Champions League win over Liverpool and was delighted to contribute so heavily to his side's success at such a tough venue.

"It was special, it was my first goal here at Anfield so I feel very proud for that," Ronaldo told Sky Sports after Madrid landed their third win from three Champions League fixtures this season.

"I feel happy - we win and three points so amazing.

"We knew before the game that Anfield is a difficult place but I think that we played fantastic, especially in the first 45 minutes and we deserved to win.

"The best thing it's a team win, we have nine points so 75 per cent of the qualification is done."
