Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said he has no regrets about playing through the pain for the club last season.
The 29-year-old suffered tendonitis problems in his knee and also a hamstring problems towards the end of the campaign, but still played a key part in helping Los Blancos win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
In an interview with Marca, the forward admitted he may have pushed himself to hard but he has no regrets, even though he paid for it at the World Cup as he and Portugal under-performed. He added that he owes everything to Real Madrid, who pay his wages and look after him.
“I wasn’t fully fit and I pushed it, but it went well for me at club-level. Things were more complicated with Portugal. Things can’t always turn out ok. I’ve learned from what happened with my injury, but I don’t regret doing it because I got to play for Real Madrid- who pay me and give me everything- and Portugal, which is my homeland,” he told the Madrid-based sports paper.
He went on to say that despite the injury issues, 2013-14 was a dream season for him personally and for the club.
He stated: “In terms of individual and team honours but if you look at the last six or seven years, I’ve played at more or less the same level. I’m obviously thrilled because this year I had the most individual and team success, it was a dream year.”
