The Portuguese sensation plundered a second-
half hat-trick and reflected positively on his
team's performance, while reserving words of
encouragement for the injured Casillas
Hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo is feeling
confident with Real Madrid's Champions
League start, after his side recorded a 6-1
victory over Galatasaray on Tuesday.
Two days after inking a new five-year contract
at the Spanish side that made him the highest
paid player in football, the 28-year-old
celebrated with three goals in the second half
to make a statement of intent on behalf of the
Decima-chasing los Blancos .
"You cannot start better. Scoring six goals is
very good, it gives us confidence. We're doing
well," Ronaldo told TVE.
"We wanted to start strong. The opposition
were complicated but, after the goal, we
controlled the entire game.
"In the first few minutes they created the best
opportunities, but we responded very well. We
played very well following the goal."
Ronaldo also touched on the misfortune of
team-mate Iker Casillas, who was injured by
Sergio Ramos and forced to depart 14 minutes
into his first start of the season.
"It's bad luck for Casillas," the Portuguese
winger added. "He has been hurt, but he will
recover and will return for sure,” maintained
the Portuguese forward.
With Copenhagen and Juventus playing out a
1-1 draw in Denmark, Carlo Ancelotti's men
have been handed an early lead in the Group B
standings.
