The "Madre Patria" is privileged to have Cristiano Ronaldo, says Emilio Butragueño

Emilio Butragueño, the former Spanish player of Real Madrid who is now the Director of Institutional Relations of the Madrid club, said about Cristiano Ronaldo that it is a "privilege for Spanish football" that the Portuguese displays his game in the so-called "Madre Patria".

"He is probably the most important in history" after Alfredo di Stefano at the white club, added the remembered Buitre.

In this way, Butragueño expressed a Real Madrid fan's opinion about Cristiano Ronaldo: "I hope he plays until he's 41 and continues to offer this performance".
