Ronaldo sets 35-goal target for season

Ronaldo said that the addition of Brazilian duo Robinho and Julio Baptista and Uruguayan internationals Pablo Garcia and Carlos Diogo to the Real squad would allow the team to mount a much stronger challenge for the honours that have eluded them over the past two seasons.

"I think that the club has come to understand the importance of having more players because there are a lot of games and a lot of competitions in the season," he said. "All sides now have squads of over 25 players so that they can rest people.

"I'd like to win both the league title and the Champions League this season, but above all the league because that's what I think the fans who come to see us every Sunday would like.

"Having said that I've never won the Champions League and I'm not going to give up football without winning it."

Real leave their pre-season training camp in Austria on Saturday to head for Budapest where they will play a testimonial match in honour of former player Ferenc Puskas.
