MADRID – Cristiano Ronaldo called for reinforcements to Real Madrid’s front line on Tuesday to help the club’s desperate struggle to wrestle the Spanish league title from bitter rivals Barcelona. “We need someone for six months,” said Portuguese star Ronaldo, as Real’s Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain had a hernia operation in the United States on Saturday and is unlikely to feature for at least 4 months.
“There has been talk of some great players such as Ruud (van Nistelrooy) and I’m glad. The more players there are here who want to help this team win the better,” said the Portuguese star, who has 22 goals at the half way stage of the season. “I want to win lots of Champions Leagues and league titles here,” said Ronaldo, adding that Real Madrid could not afford to “go another year without winning something.”
