Ronaldo: We Really Want To Win This Competition

Cristiano Ronaldo was pleased with his team's showing, and his opening goal, as Manchester United picked up a 2-0 win against Roma.

The Red Devils opened the scoring through Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half, but then had to survive some intense pressure before Wayne Rooney scored the second to practically seal the tie. 

"Yes, [it was] a very good performance," said Ronaldo, speaking on ITV after the game.

"Everyong knows Roma are a good team. It was a tough game, they played very well. But we got some chances and scored, and that was the difference."

Speaking of his own goal - his 36th of the season, he said: "It was a good header, and I feel very happy because I scored and helped the team win.

"We needed to win. Now the next game is at home and we need to win again."

It took some rugged defending, though, and the winger also pointed towards the collective effort, and towards the desire to win the competition. 

"Yes, everyone did their part in this game," he said. "This is good competition, and we really want to win it."
