In the Spanish championship, the shining forward Cristiano Ronaldo silenced his critics by putting on a brilliant performance in the UEFA Champions League.
In the prestigious tournament, the royal team defeated Dortmund's "Borussia" 3:1, with the veteran from Portugal contributing two goals.
"It seems like in every match I have to prove who I really am. I am surprised by what people think about me - the numbers speak for themselves.
I am a professional and always try to keep negative thoughts away. And the criticism becomes more and more intense," said Ronaldo, who played his 400th match in the ranks of "Real".
"We played well, and before the match, we talked about how it would be great to triumph in Dortmund.
In the field, we implemented everything the coach instructed - the team played uniquely, created opportunities to score, and scoring three goals away against "Borussia" was not an easy feat," said the Portuguese after the historic first victory at the Dortmund stadium.
