“I want to be next to Maradona and Pele in history”

(GSM) – Real Madrid hasn’t even secured a spot in the next round of the Champions League, but Cristiano Ronaldo already looked ahead to the draw for the eighth finals. There’s one club that Ronaldo absolutely doesn’t want to face. “I definitely don’t want to play against Manchester United,” stressed the former Mancunian.

“It will be a strange feeling if I play them,” Ronaldo told several British media on Thursday. “Mr Ferguson helped me a lot in my career. I was there six years and he taught me many things. I keep the same relationship with him. He’s a good friend of mine. I still have the same friends. I speak sometimes with Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Nani, Patrice Evra, Anderson.”

The Portuguese winger also said that his wants to create history by keeping fresh and play into his forties.

“If my legs let me play until I’m 40, I want to play. But I want to be in the first page of history, the same as Maradona and Pele.”
