Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo says that his goal against Zaragoza on Sunday evening was one of the best of his career.
The Portugal international was on target with a thunderous free-kick on 44 minutes in the 3-1 victory over the relegation-threatened side.
The win helped Real keep pace with leaders Barcelona, and Ronaldo believes that it is a sign they have bounced back from their Clasico hammering.
"My goal is a sign that the team is working hard," the 25-year-old is quoted as saying by Madrid's official website. "It was one of the best goals of my career.
"We are playing well. I wouldn't have been able to score had my team-mates not provoked the foul. I am pleased. We want to extend this winning streak as long as we can."
Reflecting on their performance in Zaragoza, the former Ballon d'Or winner said: "We were very relaxed at the start and Zaragoza came out motivated. Things got a lot easier once we scored.
"That is when we started to play better. It wasn't an easy match. They started off strong, but [Mesut] Oezil's goal served us well and helped us take control."
