Real Madrid star Ronaldo wary of English threat to Champions League crown

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo believes the Premier League will be a big threat to their Champions League crown. England's Champions League challenge will be spearheaded by Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea while Arsenal will be aiming to overcome Besiktas, of Turkey, in the play-off round to join them in the group stages.

"English teams are always there, they are always strong teams," Ronaldo said.

"Let's see when the league starts and they buy the new players. We have to see what is going to happen.

"For us, it's good to win this trophy (European Super Cup) to give confidence to the team.

"It means a lot. It was a very important trophy and we start on the right foot."
