Ahead of tonight’s game against Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo has talked of his fond feelings for the club and, as always, left the door open to a possibility of returning.

“I loved it there, I was 18 years old, I won everything there, the people treat me like a god there so I appreciate and the future nobody knows,” he said. “It’s crazy that they still sing my name. I remember when we played there against Manchester in the Champions League, they killed me, my heart was so happy, and fantastic moments and I appreciate this club, for me it’s one of the best clubs in the world and I have passion for this club. Some players I am still in contact with because when I was there I create a good relationship with everybody, not just the players, all the staff around and it was like my second family there too so I’ll not forget that the people treat me good. I’ll not forget it so I appreciate it a lot. I love Manchester, to be back, I never know, you never know, football you never know. Of course I’m happy at Real Madrid. It’s my home, it’s my club but Manchester treat me unbelievable so we never know.”
