Real Madrid chief Butragueno: 5-goal Ronaldo from another dimension

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo after his five goal haul yesterday.

Ronaldo struck five times as Real thumped Granada 9-1 yesterday.

"The team was good from the start and the five goals from Cristiano shows he's from another dimension as a player," said Butragueno.

"Now comes the critical time. In a few weeks we'll play for the two titles that remain."

On the signing of Porto fullback Danilo, he added: "It is normal that the club thinks about the future, but what is important is what comes: Rayo, Eibar, Athletic ... There will be time to talk about Danilo."
