Record-breaking Ronaldo eager for Lisbon final

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo says the chance to win theChampions League title with Real Madrid in Lisbon means more to him than settingthe new European goal-scoring record.The 29-year-old Real star netted twice in Tuesday's historic 4-0 rout of BayernMunich as the holders suffered their heaviest home defeat in European competitionto crash out of the semi-finals 5-0 on aggregate.Ronaldo picked up his 15th and 16th goals of the current European campaign tohelp put the Spanish side into the final in Lisbon on May 24 as Carlo Ancelotti's sidehumiliated the defending champions.The Portuguese forward's two goals helped him eclipse the previous best of 14 in aseason registered by Barcelona's Lionel Messi in 2011-12 and Jose Altafini of ACMilan in 1962-63."The team really helped me, I am overjoyed, but not primarily because of the cuprecord, but mainly because we now have the chance to win the title, especially in myhome country, in Lisbon," said Ronaldo, who was born on the island of Madeira, butstarted his professional career at Sporting Lisbon.Real will face either Mourinho's Chelsea or neighbours Atletico Madrid in the Lisbonfinal as they look to claim 'La Decima' -- their tenth European title having lastreached the Champions League final in 2002."We'll go there (to Lisbon) with our heads held high, but with our feet on the ground.It will be a difficult game," said Ronaldo, with the final to be held at the Estadio daLuz, the home of Benfica, the local rivals of Sporting, who Ronaldo left in 2003 tojoin Manchester United as an 18-year-old. Ronaldo put Real's emphatic win down to their Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti asreigning European champions Bayern were humiliated in their own Allianz Arenastadium."It is solely the merit of Carlo Ancelotti," Ronaldo said, as the Italian replaced JoseMourinho, who now coaches Chelsea, at the start of the season."He changed everything, especially the mentality of the players."The World Player of the Year has reached the new record tally in just 10 appearancesin the competition this season, his tally also including a hat-trick againstGalatasaray in the group stage and braces against FC Copenhagen, Juventus and inboth legs of the last-16 tie against Schalke 04.Ronaldo has now scored 66 Champions League goals and is closing in on formerReal Madrid striker Raul's overall record for the most goals in the competition of 71.
