"I want to thank everyone who has come today, the Portuguese ambassador, my manager, my president, those from Real Madrid and the fans."

"This is a beautiful moment in my sporting life. To receive the fourth Golden Shoe is an honour and a privilege. This trophy is very important for me and I have to thank my teammates and everyone who has helped me."

"It's a special moment but I'm not satisfied. I want to be more. I want the fifth and the sixth if it's possible. I know it is difficult," he added.
