Cristiano Ronaldo: 'Real Madrid deserved Copa del Rey triumph'

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo praises his teammates following their Copa del Rey success.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that his side were deserving of their 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey.

The Portuguese, who watched the game from the stands due to injury, heaped praise on his teammates but was quick to point out that they still have the La Liga and Champions League titles to play for.

"We deserved to win because we played better and we created more goal chances but we still have two titles to fight for," Ronaldo told reporters.

"It was a great struggle to reach the final. We are very happy, we have been great, we have to enjoy this day and then think about the league."

Goals from Angel di Maria and Gareth Bale either side of a Marc Bartra strike sealed Real's 19th Copa del Rey title.
