Carlo Ancelotti insists he will be happy with Cristiano Ronaldo whether or not he scores for Real Madrid.
Ronaldo has scored over 50 times for Los Blancos this season, but has not scored in their past three matches. He looked frustrated when Alvaro Arbeloa netted in Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Almeria in La Liga that helped Ancelotti's side close the gap on leaders Barcelona to two points.
“In my career, I have never had a forward that has scored 50 goals," said Ancelotti.
"If Cristiano does not score from here until the end of the season, I will be just as happy. Cristiano is very well, he is not tired, he is fresh.”
Real Madrid visit Sevilla on Saturday before the European champions face Juventus in Turin on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
