CRISTIANO RONALDO HAS no plans to leave Real Madrid and believes he could even play for the club for another six years if he looks after himself.

“My dream is to retire at Real Madrid,” he told Marca. “If you take care of yourself, you can play until you are 40.

“I feel good and useful at Madrid, I want to keep winning here.”
Ronaldo was this week awarded his fourth Golden Ball — which is handed to Europe’s most prolific marksmen.
No other player has won it as many times, but speaking at the presentation of the trophy he re-iterated his desire to win it several more times before hanging up his boots.
