Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that a humble attitude has been the key for success in his career.
The Portuguese attacker has won titles in England and Spain, the Champions League in 2008, and the Ballon d Or during his time in the game.
And be believes that his own hard work has helped him get to the top, along with his natural footballing talent.
I think that it s down to talent and the fact I ve worked incredibly hard to achieve my objectives, the 27-year-old told Fifa.com.
You need to be humble enough to know what s missing from your game and work towards it.
Throughout my whole career I ve always tried to learn, evolve and win trophies. I m very ambitious, I always want to win and I ll stay that way until I hang up my boots.
Madrid currently sit 18 points behind Barcelona in their battle to retain the title, and Ronaldo has told his team-mates to focus on the Champions League now.
We haven t started the championship very well for sure, he continued.
We know that La Liga s an uphill struggle for us now, but nothing s impossible in football. We re going to work hard, win games and see what happens.
Every Madridista wants that tenth European Cup – we re more than aware of that. Last season we fell just short, which was very frustrating. Fortunately we ve got the opportunity to set the record straight this year.
