Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his commitment to Real Madrid after declaring himself “sad” in the Spanish capital.

The Portuguese forward refused to celebrate as he scored two goals in a 3-0 victory over Granada, confessing afterwards to his unhappiness but declining to offer any explanation.

But last night he tweeted: "That I am feeling sad and have expressed this sadness has created a huge stir. I am accused of wanting more money, but one day it will be shown that this is not the case. At this point, I just want to guarantee to the Real Madrid fans that my motivation, dedication, commitment and desire to win all competitions will not be affected."
