Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid opened up their Champions League campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory against Ajax Amsterdam. Cristiano Ronaldo looked very lively and was heavily involved with the play.

Cristiano Ronaldo took numerous dangerous shots and was a bit unlucky not to show up on the scoresheet. Gonzalo Higuain scored the only two goals in the match. Higuain should have had his hat-trick after Ronaldo slipped him a beautiful pass; however, the Argentine international sent his effort just wide.

Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a partial shot at former manager Alex Ferguson by declaring that Jose Mourinho is the best coach in the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo said “Mourinho is the best coach in the world and I’m sure we will win and create a spectacle, At times it isn’t possible to play well and be spectacular. It’s better for the fans to help us and motivate us to play well. Our supporters have fun when the team plays well and scores goals, but we can’t thrill them with brilliance all the time. It is on occasion convenient for fans to thrill players as well. All of us at the stadium want what’s best for Real Madrid and, together, we can make this a feared team at home.”

Real Madrid is hosting Ajax in their first Champions League match at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
