That performance from Barca has once again put Lionel Messi at the front of the discussion for the FIFA Ballon D'Or, the world player of the year award, with Ronaldo most likely destined to finish in second place again.
Yet Ronaldo insisted his main focus for the season is helping Madrid end Barca’s recent of recent success, rather than individual accolades.
"Achieving personal things is nowhere near as satisfying as when you achieve things as a team, " Ronaldo said. "Winning La Liga or the premier club competition in Europe will be far more special. Last season may have been my best ever and that made me happy. But I'd gladly score 10 goals less if it saw us win the league or other major competitions.
"If you can promise me that deal right now, I will sign on the dotted line. Oherwise I must keep scoring as many as possible, and hoping those goals will help us win more trophies."
