Cristiano Ronaldo is satisfied with his first season at Real Madrid even though it looks destined to end trophyless. The 25-year-old has scored 26 goals in 28 La Liga games since moving to the Bernabéu from Manchester United for a world-record £80m last summer.

Madrid head into this weekend's final round of fixtures a point behind Barcelona. Manuel Pellegrini's side must win at Málaga and hope Barça fail to beat Real Valladolid at Camp Nou if they are to pip their rivals to the title.

Regardless of the outcome this weekend, though, Ronaldo is content with how things are progressing in the Spanish capital.

"I really enjoyed the season that I've done, but what's missing is winning a title," he said. "I'm very happy here in Madrid and my team-mates have helped me a lot, but the team has not won anything. We have to keep fighting and I am confident we will win many titles (in future)."

Of this term's final weekend, he added: "It's hard to win the league, but in football anything can happen. Mathematically it is possible. We have to win in Málaga and see what happens in Barcelona. We must have hope."

Ronaldo considers the Champions League exit - at the last-16 stage to Lyon in March - the biggest disappointment of his first 12 months in Spain.

"It was very bad, very difficult, but the circumstances must be taken into account," he told the Spanish television programme Punto Pelota. "We have new players, a team under construction, a different coach and we know that success does not come straight away - you have to slide a bit.

"I remember in my first two years at Manchester we did not win anything and we went on to win the Champions League."

One man who has not had to deal with Champions League elimination this season is the Internazionale coach José Mourinho, who will lead his team into the final against Bayern Munich at the Bernabéu on 22 May, and has been heavily linked with a summer move to Madrid. Ronaldo is impressed by Mourinho's coaching record but remains behind current boss Pellegrini.

"The successes speak for themselves," he said of his fellow Portuguese. "A person earning titles is a good person. Success does not come just like that. At the moment, Pellegrini fits more with me."

As for his own future, Ronaldo appears settled where he is but refused to categorically rule out a move when quizzed about the possibility of joining arch rivals Barça.

"Madrid is my home and Real Madrid my club, but you cannot say never," he said. "I do not know what will happen in the future. You never know, although I would like to retire in Madrid."

His first pictures for Armani have been released and one of them seems to reveal an Illuminati message.

Firstly, for those who don’t know a thing about the Illuminati, here is a quick explanation of the whole thing:

The Illuminati is believed to be a satanic secret society which executes itself through all means, and which rules the world with several symbols – the most popular of those being the all-seeing-eye and the Manu Cornuto (I love you Devil sign).

It is widely believed that the Illuminati uses celebrities especially as well as pop culture to spread its message around the world.

While many people decide to ignore the manifested truth of the existence of the Illuminati, others have taken another look at the world and noticed satanic signs everywhere.

Now is Cristiano Ronaldo a messenger for this group?

This week, the most iconic footballer on the planet had his first ever photo shoots for Armani; his pictures exposed sensual provocation and perhaps, something else… a sign of the Illuminati.

On this picture on the left, shirtless Cristiano Ronaldo has two of his right hand’s fingers near his right eye just like singer Lady Gaga (who publicly talks herself about the rule of symbols) can be seen gesturing almost similarly…

This sign (called eye in the triangle) is regarded as one among many satanic gestures to many people, and even to those who are proud of doing it.

In our Video gallery, you can have the chance to watch Cristiano Ronaldo Fan’s latest revealing video which can also be seen on Youtube.com (Click here).

Now what about this picture that you can see here:

Is it just a coincidence that the triangle (pyramid and Illuminati sign) can be seen there?

Well, judge for yourself!

Cristiano Ronaldo has called for patience – both from his Real Madrid team-mates and the Spanish club's fans – as he attempts to overcome an ankle injury.

The Portugal winger, who moved from Manchester United in the summer, has scored nine goals in seven appearances – all wins – since leaving England. But an ankle injury has forced him to the sidelines, where he has been watching his team-mates struggle.

"I've already missed some games to injury but it's not like I'm the saviour," said Ronaldo. "I'm just a player that will help the team to win, but the team needs to work. I think things will improve."

Ronaldo has missed the past six games, one of those being a 4-0 loss at Alcorcón in the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey. That result put the pressure on Real's coach Manuel Pellegrini, who has pleaded for more time.

When asked how much more time can be given to a team that spent more than €250m (£225m) in the summer for players such as Ronaldo, Kaká, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo said: "I don't know. I just hope it's as quickly as possible because if not we'll lose games or points and that's not good for the club or for us the players, either.

"It's difficult when we lose a game, or another with a little pressure, but that's normal and it's a club that's used to it and players should be ready for that. I'm certain – 100% certain – that the team will reach a high level, but that takes time."

Madrid trail the defending champions Barcelona by one point and Ronaldo believes the difference in experience has much to do with their contrasting starts.

"We know if we get better we'll reach a good level and we'll be able to fight against [Barcelona], who have a clear base of great players who go out playing the same way," he said. "Madrid is not like that. But, little by little, I'm confident the team will improve and we will play well. I'm sure of that."

Ronaldo also commented on the Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, who is expected to win the Ballon d'Or and Fifa player of the year titles held by the Portuguese. "He's got a great team at his back and it's a lot easier when you have so many great players of quality around you," he said. "When you play in a team under construction, it's much more difficult, and Barça has a team that for many years has been great."

However, Ronaldo is not ready to concede the league title just yet. "There are no favourites in my opinion," he said. "The truth is Barça is playing really well, playing better than us. That's the reality and people know that. But accounts are settled at the end of the season and I'm confident we're going to improve and we're going to fight to the end of the season."

Ronaldo remained positive when asked about his return to Real's side: "I'm very relaxed and will keep working in the same way that I did at Manchester and I know things will work out little by little and the team will get better," said the 24-year-old.

"Life is very good. It's very similar to Portugal; I knew that before and I'm very happy here. It's a very lovely city," he said. "It's totally different [from Manchester]. Here there is almost always sun. The personality of the people are very different. The league, the food – almost everything is different and for that it's been a very radical change."
