Cristiano Ronaldo was delighted with his second consecutive hat-trick for Real Madrid and reiterated his confidence heading into the Clasico.
The Portuguese followed his treble at the weekend against Deportivo with three more last night in a 4-1 win at Ajax, but knew where to point to in explaining how he has managed 158 goals in 154 appearances at the club.
“I am very satisfied, it was a complete game,” he told reporters afterwards.
“The most important thing is the team, without them it is impossible to score goals.
“Sunday will be a tough game, but we are confident. Going to play with 11 players and despite the injuries we have a very good team.”
