In an exclusive interview with 'L'Equipe', Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his sporting and personal goals for the future. See what he had to say below...

Ronaldo is a proud father of four kids and winner of four Ballon d'Or titles, but the Portuguese superstar is keen to add in both departments.

He told the French publication: "While I'm playing, I'll try to win as much as I can. My dream is to win a fifth Ballon d'Or, and next year there will be another one to fight for.

"I am very happy to have so many people around me, I wanted to have children, for me, a life without children is nothing. I want seven children and as many Ballon d'Or's."

Ronaldo also took a minute to comment on PSG’s ever-increasing financial power. “I do not fear PSG. We are the European champions and we’re defending our title this year. We’ve won it two years running. That should be respected. I think that we have shown that when we have had to be ready, we were” he added.

On his recent lack of form, the forward said: “You know, I don’t criticize people who ask that question. What I find really strange is when it happens at home. When I’m not scoring my mum asks me, and my son, my brother and my sister… they all say: “But what's wrong with you?”

Away from Ronaldo's personal ambitions, he has been linked with a shock move to the MLS. Do you think the 32-year-old would be a success in the United States? Let us know in the comments.
