The striker started with his achievements and he said that he always wanted to be the best player in the world. But it wasn’t his only goal.
“It has been my best season because at the end I got the Ballon d’Or. I’ve been dreaming about it since I was a child. It has been the best season of my life.”
“I have fulfilled the three dreams I had in my life: to buy a house for my mother, to sign for Real Madrid, because it is the best club in the world, and the third was the Ballon d’Or. I am very proud of my work.”
The French International also said that winning five UEFA Champions League titles with Los Blancos is a special achievement for him. He said that winning a UCL title is complicated but Real Madrid is a special team.
