While on holiday in Thailand, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to local press about the club. “The greatest moment I’ve had at Real Madrid so far was winning the league title. In my opinion, it is the most difficult league championship in the world. We faced a very strong opponent like Barcelona and defeated them with a nine-point cushion. It was fantastic.”
