The Portuguese star always scores against the Galician outfit: 9 goals in 5 matches.
He has scored in every La Liga match at the Bernabéu stretching back over a year, but he always wants more. Cristiano Ronaldo now faces one of the teams that he tends to find the target against the most. He has played against Celta Vigo five times and has found the net on each occasion, scoring a total of nine goals against the Galician side.
Two seasons ago, Real Madrid and Celta met four times. In La Liga, Cristiano scored one goal at home and twice at Balaídos, while in the Copa del Rey he struck once on the road and three times at the Santiago Bernabéu. Last term, the Portuguese did not play in Vigo but did not disappoint in front of goal on home turf, notching a brace.
Sergio Ramos publicly announced his backing of Carlo Ancelotti
•I hope he lasts a long time with us because his project for the future is looking really good •This run is the fruit of collective hard work, but that is led by the gaffer. •Any compliments I give him wouldn't do him justice. •He was a player, he manages the dressing room perfectly, he talks to us about any problems and he gets the best out of every footballer.
•Ancelotti has won over the Real fans and the squad. We hope that this good run that he is leading lasts a long time.
•At the end of the day, the youth system is what drives a team. Real Madrid have been doing a great job in that department for years and it's the future of our team.
On Jese's Return:
•I've gotten on really well with him for years. I've often spoken to him and I've told him that I think he's a unique player who has a real impact and I'm glad to see him on the pitch looking as good as he did before. He has been through a lot. It's great for the team to have a player like him back.

Khedira's Comment over Ballon D'Or finalists:- "The three nominees have enormous quality and are great footballers. I have two favourites: Cristiano and Neuer.
