“Juventus have a great coach and a great president accustomed to winning. It was an easy decision to come here.”

“It’s a big challenge in my career, a lot of players my age choose to go elsewhere with all due respect. It makesme happy to play at such a big club, I‘m very grateful to Juventus for this opportunity.

“I prefer to think of me in the present tense. The present is clear, I enjoy football. I’m still rather young and I’ve always liked challenges in my life – from Sporting, Manchester, Real and now Juventus. It was a dream, not a career. I couldn’t really think of winning so many titles. This new challenge will be as good as the others.”

Cristiano Ronaldo on leaving Real Madrid:

“I’m not sad actually. I am here because it is a new challenge for my career.

“It is a big club. Usually players of my age go to Qatar and China, with all due respect. To come to this club at this stage of my career I am very happy so I am very grateful to the club for this opportunity.

“I will work with my country and I will not turn my back on them. This is just one new step in my career.

“I know it’s a difficult and tactical championship. I like to have new experiences. I know it will be difficult but I’ve always had difficult challenges. I don’t like to sit down and look at my successes, I want to work hard for new successes.

“I believe in my football. I’m sure everything will be very successful. I will work hard and do my best. That’s why I’m calm and sure of myself.”

Asked about Juventus fans applauding his overhead kick in the Champions League, Ronaldo said:

“It was a really stunning moment for me. Being welcomed this way is so rewarding. It increases your motivation to start a new adventure. I’m really grateful to these supporters for the way they welcomed me. I hope I can reward them when I play for them. Thanks to all the fans at the airport and here to welcome me.”

Asked about the possibility of winning the Champions League, Ronaldo said:

“I do know that Champions League titles is a trophy that every club would like to win. This is an option. We are going to fight not only for the Champions League but for the Serie A title.

“We know competition will be harsh but we must stay concentrated. I hope I can help Juventus win it. They couldn’t win (last year) because even when you get tothe final nothing is written. I hope I can be the lucky star of this club but we will see what happens.”

Cristiano Ronaldo on winning more Ballon d’Or awards:

“I want to win. Iwant to be the best. Who knows, maybe I will be awarded the Ballon d’Or again but things will happen naturally. It was difficult to win it in Manchester and Real Madrid, but maybe here? We will see.”
