Cristiano Ronaldo believes he's silenced his critics since arriving at Real Madrid. Ronaldo has quickly established himself as Real's most important player - ahead of even Raul and Kaka.

He said: "When I arrived at Madrid everyone judged me. It was said that I was this and that and people wrote I would be out every night at the clubs and with girlfriends.

"And finally now what do they talk about? They talk about the goals I scored and the games I play. That's all.

"I've won everything with Manchester United, and now I want to win everything at Real Madrid. No one can doubt that this is my true desire."
