Cristiano Ronaldo, who turned 28 today, spoke out ahead of the big Champions League showdown between Real Madrid and former club Manchester United this month and expressed his confidence to win the tie.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in 2009, believes that his current Real Madrid side are superior to his old club and have what it takes to progress to the next round.
Ronaldo told UEFA Magazine, "I believe things will go well. In my opinion Real Madrid have a better team, but we have to show that on the pitch because United are a very united team and always have been in recent years.
"They're a team that always do well, every year they're at the top and therefore a team we respect a lot. It will be an extremely difficult match, especially in Manchester.
"The game at Old Trafford will be a match in which I will feel a lot. I was there for six years. I have a lot of friends there, people I will see with great pleasure, it will be a match with a lot of emotions."
The first leg will take place at the Bernabeu on the 13th of February.
