The Atletico Madrid ace admitted it is “difficult” to have never lifted the trophy with his club so it’s on his list of ambitions.

He is quoted by Match magazine as saying: “A dream, and an objective, is to win LaLiga and the Champions League.

“I have never won LaLiga. I may be the club’s record goalscorer but not having won the league is difficult.

“The Champions League would be a dream too.”

Although the 33-year-old forward is proud to be Atletico’s leading scorer and wants to keep raising the bar higher, he welcomes an up-and-coming player breaking the record one day.

He said: “I know that I’ve gone down in club history and for me it’s an honour and a source of pride…

“I hope I can set as high a record as possible, so we can set an example for the young players from the academy and get them to aim to score as many goals.

“I hope that in the long run it’s one of the academy players that breaks. I’ll be rooting for them to do just that for many years to come.”
