Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo: I don't feel pressure against Barcelona
The Portuguese attacker has made it clear that he will prepare for Wednesday's match just like he does for every other game, despite coming under recent criticism.


The Portugal international received his fair share of criticism after failing to find the net in Madrid's 3-1 La Liga loss against Barca back in December 2011, but Ronaldo has insisted that the high expectations do not affect him.

"I always try to relax before a game. The pressure doesn't get to me. I try to stay positive and always see new challenges. My mental strength is very important to me," Ronaldo said in an interview with DT.

"I just want to win every game and play well. That's always my goal; put in a good performance and get a good result. I don't mind who the opponent is because my motivation will always be the same.

"When you're happy and enjoying your football, you only want good things to happen to the team and have fun."
