Ronaldo stays quiet on future
Cristiano Ronaldo is reluctant to be drawn into a debate regarding his long-term future at Real Madrid.
The Portuguese superstar is under contract at Santiago Bernabeu until 2015, but doubts have been cast as to his chances of seeing out that agreement.
Former employers Manchester United are said to be keen on taking the prolific forward back to Old Trafford, with a summer approach mooted.
Meanwhile, reports in Spain suggest Real are planning to hold discussions with Ronaldo regarding a possible extension to his current deal.
Ronaldo is aware of the incessant rumours, but claims to be paying little attention to them.
Speaking after Real's UEFA Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, the 28-year-old said: "I have two more years on my contract, I am not concerned abou

Vilanova: we can win, we are Barca
Barcelona v Bayern Munich: coach Tito Vilanova convinced his side can make Champions League final
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova is convinced his team can overhaul a four-goal deficit and make the Champions League final at the expense of Bayern Munich – because "we are Barca".
The Catalans giants trail 4-0 following last week's humbling at the Allianz Arena, their hopes of making the final at Wembley on May 25 hanging by the thinnest of threads.
A team containing Lionel Messi cannot be written off, though, and Vilanova insists no one at the club has given up hope.
He said: "We believe we can fight back, it's our obligation and

Remy: Premier League is perfect for me
QPR striker Loic Remy believes he is perfectly suited to playing in the Premier League.
The London club were relegated on Sunday after a goalless draw with Reading, but the France international has briefly impressed at Loftus Road, finding the net five times in 11 games to give them a fighting chance of survival.
Remy's performances have caught the eye, with several top-flight clubs being linked with his signature in the off-season, and the Frenchman insists he is still happy with his decision to leave a title tilt at Marseille for an ultimately unsuccessful relegation scrap.
"I left because I wanted a different challenge, one that was tricky right from the start," he tol

Spanish striker Riki stunned the home crowd in the seventh minute when he collected Bruno Gama's pass before going on a mazy run, which bamboozled Nacho, and held off Antonio Amaya to fi

Champions League : Barcelona - Bayern Munich
Barcelona will be looking to restore their battered pride when they face a ruthless Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Never in their golden era have the Spanish giants been so comprehensively outplayed as they were in last Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg.
Jupp Heynckes' side dished out the sort of lesson Barcelona have inflicted on a host of Europe's elite for the better part of five years, with Thomas Mueller scoring twice either side of Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben strikes.
A rescue job against one of, if not the most, formidable side in Europe looks out of the question but at the very least Barcelona must make amends for that defeat. <
