Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is unsure about facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Ronaldo recalled his return to Madrid following the group stage draw in Monaco.

"I hope that fans don't push me by calling me saying unsporting things about me again," he told Movistar Liga de Campeones.

"Other than that, I hope it's a hard-fought game.

"It's just another game, Atletico are a great team as we all know, I was at Real Madrid for a long time so I know them."

The aim will certainly be to lift the trophy for Cristiano, who is looking for yet another Champions League title.

"Which team didn't reinforce this year? Every team reinforces to win," he insisted.

"I hope it's Juventus, and I hope it's this year, but it's the most difficult competition to win.

"It's not always the favourite that wins, we hope it's our year."
