Real Madrid star Ronaldo desperate for Champions League glory in Portugal

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is desperate to win the Champions League in his home country.

Real will meet Atletico Madrid in the final in Lisbon next week.

Ronaldo said: "It is going to be a very special match, and in my own country too. I'm very happy and excited. We know it's going to be a very tricky match because Atlético are having a great year, they're a very good team with a great coach. But we're going to try and win and play our best. The team is doing well and feeling confident.

"I've changed for the better, or course. I won the Champions league with Manchester United and now this is my fifth season with Real Madrid. I've always dreamed of winning this competition with this club."
