Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, has insisted he is running out of words to describe Cristiano Ronaldo and revealed he thought about leaving Bernabeu.
The 33-year-old, who has recovered from a difficult spell at the club, hailed Ronaldo after another record-breaking display in the 5-0 win over Athletic.
"It was a thrilling match and a great one to be involved in. Cristiano is breaking all the records: you run out of things to say about him," he told Canal+.
Casillas faced two difficult years but has reclaimed his first team spot after dropping to the bench under Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti last season.
"I thought about going. What you want is for Real Madrid to always win. But in the end, at 33 years of age, you think, why should I? I want to fight, to make a go of it, to be reborn form the ashes.
"There was a lot of talk about an offer from Arsenal, but there was nothing concrete. I want to stay at Real Madrid, keep fighting here and finish my career here.
"We reached a point at which my name was everywhere, but what's good is that now positive things are being said.d.
"I've done it on merit. I've been at the top for many years and I can understand there being people who are sick of my face."
Casillas has only ever played for Real Madrid and made 687 official appearances for Los Blancos.
